Fresh growing potatoes tubers
HELLO HIVE
Potatoes is a starchy tuber of the plant called solanum tuber and it's a root crop.
Potatoes is an underground tuber that usually grow on the root of the solanum tuber plant .
The part of the potatoes that is fleshy is usually eaten as vegetable, potatoes is also use in making medicine such as heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, indigestion and some other conditions although science has not prove any support for these use but people believe it work for these purpose and for others that are not mention.
Potatoes also doesn't has fat in them, plant based, cheaper to get,it is easy to plant and doesn't need any fertilizer and not expensive to grow, and it's also a good quality carbohydrates,they are also cholesterol free and sodium free.
Nutritional value of this plant depends on how you prefer and prepare it,it can be prepared by using frying method, boiling ,it is also use in making potato chips and lastly it can also be used in making kunu mostly by the Hausa people.
We plant it based on different reasons
Some for immediate consumption, some selling them in market and using the money in purchasing other things, selling them to industry for further processing .
But as for me I plant it for Immediate consumption.
The time spent for it to be ready basically depends on the type planted and the type of soil it's planted on.
For the type I plant it takes three to four months for it to be ready which means can plant it twice in a year on a cold land.
My potatoes will be ready in a month time.
I can't wait to harvest my delicious potatoes.
And it has to be harvested on time cause the level of the thieves around us in the farm is very high.
