US Dehy Potatoes in Philippine Restaurant Menu

I'm KayDee Gilkey with the U.S. Potato Update brought to you by Syngenta and the United States Potato Board. Listen carefully so you can answer the Spuds, Scales and Sleds Sweepstakes question.

The United States Potato Board focuses on educating chefs worldwide on the benefits of using U.S. dehydrated potato products through USPB’s many foreign market educational seminars. One such seminar occurred last October in Singapore and now as a result of that seminar, U.S. dehy potatoes are being used in a Philippine restaurant’s menu.

UPSB International Marketing Vice President John Toaspern shares more

Toaspern: "A restaurant at a hotel chain in the Philippines has now launched a couple of new using U.S. dehydrated potatoes as a healthy ingredient on their menu. This hotel chain has actually been certified by the Philippine Department of Health as a Healthy Hotel for its healthy menu offerings. So U.S. mashed potatoes are a perfect part of that type of menu because they are such a low-calorie, highly nutritious product that can be adapted to so many different things. While I they may be using it as a side, they are also using it in some localized Philippine recipes.”

That’s the U.S. Potato Update brought to you by the United States Potato Board, maximizing return on grower investment. ?
