About the product

Some mechanical damage and some light Sprouting on these potatoes - still firm.

Our potatoes are not treated with a sprouting inhibitor and all potatoes will sprout after a short period of dormancy. To prevent sprouting keep at a temperature of 4 to 10 degrees (3 degrees is ok if you want to keep them longer). Reducing humidity levels also helps to prevent sprouting, but keeping potatoes in the dark will not prevent sprouting but it will prevent the potato turning green due to the production of chlorophyll
