Potatoes Pack Plenty Of Potassium

Quick, which has more potassium, a banana or a potato?

Turns out it's the spud.

That's one of the potato-related nuggets shared with us by Rochelle Ripp, Wisconsin's 65th Alice in Dairyland.

Ripp says a medium-sized potato also provides nearly half of our daily requirements of Vitamin C.  

February is National Potato Lover's Month.

Last year Wisconsin grew more than 2.9 billion pounds of spuds, ranking third in the nation for potato production.
