\n\tYes, all of the Tasteful Selections\u00ae baby potato varieties are gluten free. Gluten-free foods can be beneficial for people with certain health conditions.

\n\t\t\t\tAre green potatoes safe to eat?\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t

Generally speaking, green potatoes are safe to eat, it\u2019s just that you probably won\u2019t want to because of the bitter taste. The green color comes from the formation of chlorophyll, a pigment found in many plant foods including lettuce. A substance associated with chlorophyll known as solanine is the culprit behind the bitter taste in green potatoes.<\/p>\n

The primary reason potatoes can turn green is exposure to light, either sunlight or artificial light. We make every effort to avoid this from happening; however, this is not always under our control at every step of the distribution process. Potatoes may become exposed to light and turn green beyond our last inspection point.<\/p>\n

Not only are our baby potatoes pre-washed, most varieties are triple-washed to remove as much dirt and bacteria as possible. Washing also removes excess starch, which can make potatoes rather gummy. It is still a good idea for you to wash your potatoes right before cooking.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>

In most cases, it is best to remove the baby potatoes from the package before cooking. Only our Season & Savor and organic Steam & Savor products are microwaveable in their packaging.<\/p>\n

Remove all other Tasteful Selections\u00ae baby potatoes from the package before cooking. Place potatoes in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Cook 5-8 minutes, stirring once midway. It is normal to hear popping noises as some of the potatoes will \u201cpop\u201d out of their skins as they expand.
\nNote: Microwaving is NOT recommended for Nibbles because of their small size.<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Use caution when removing the bowl from the microwave as hot steam may escape. Drain any excess water from the container before adding your seasonings or toppings.

Yes, but we don\u2019t advise it. Our bite-size baby potatoes are delivered fresh to you, meaning they will taste great and have the best consistency if you enjoy them right away.<\/p>\n

If you do decide to freeze them, we recommend that you first boil or roast them, let them cool, and then freeze them. They will still taste good for a little while, but you may notice a bit more of a watery consistency after they thaw.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>

This depends more on how they are stored, which is why most stores choose not to add an expiration date to the packaging. The most effective way to store baby potatoes is to have them in a cool, dark place. Warm temperatures and light both can have adverse effects on potatoes. The optimum temperature for storing potatoes is between 45-55 degrees F. This typically allows them to last for several weeks.<\/p>\n

Storing potatoes in a refrigerator is not a good option because it allows the starches to break down into sugars, which may change the flavor. If you must refrigerate them, try to use them within a few weeks to avoid this issue and enjoy the best possible flavor.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div>

Nutritional facts are based on an estimate of how many potatoes are in the package, but do not account for potatoes that may have a higher density and thus account for more weight by volume within any given package.<\/p>\n

The code on our Micro Tray packages of potatoes indicates when they were packaged. The code appears on the white sticker and starts with the digits \u201c83.\u201d The six digits following the 83 are the date of packaging. Under proper storage conditions (a cool and dark place), the Micro Trays generally will last about 4-6 weeks from the date they were packaged.

Warm temperatures and light both can have adverse effects on potatoes. The optimum temperature for storing potatoes is between 45-55 degrees F.
