What are facts about potatoes?

Answer 1

1. They're Eco Friendly

Potatoes are environmentally friendly. They're cheap and ridiculously easy to grow, and don't require massive amounts of fertilizer and chemical additives to thrive (although some growers still use them anyway).

This makes them a perfect crop for farmers in the developing world, who can easily grow a nutritious food in adverse conditions. 2. The Potato has been Grown in Space

While potatoes may be synonymous with the Irish these days, they were grown in the Andes mountains centuries before Europeans ever set foot in the new world. The Inca people of Peru were growing them as far back as 200 BC. They were first introduced to Britain and Ireland in the late 1500s. They weren't an immediate hit either, many people blamed them for diseases and railed against them because they weren't mentioned in The Bible. 5. "French Fries" are Old

The "French fry" was allegedly served in the U.S. for the first time by Thomas Jefferson at a presidential dinner. 6. They were Royally Fashionable
