Potatoes are 80% water

In 1995, potato plants were taken into space with the space shuttle Columbia. This marked the first time any food was ever grown in space.

August 19th and October 27th are National Potato Day.

The potato originated in the region of southern Peru where it was first domesticated between 3000 BC and 2000 BC.

Potato was introduced in Europe by Spain in 1536, and they claimed that Gonzalo Jimenez de Quesada was the first to introduce the potato to Europe.

Potatoes were not accepted at once in Europe because clerics said they were not mentioned in the bible, while others believed potatoes can cause some diseases.

Potatoes are among most environmentally friendly vegetables. They’re easy to grow, and don’t require massive amounts of fertilizer and chemical additives to thrive like many other vegetables do.

Potatoes are also used to brew alcoholic beverages such as vodka, potcheen, or akvavit.

That's all folks!
