That is the net result of fewer potatoes consumed fresh on a per capita basis and more consumed in processed forms, mostly as chips or crisps but increasingly in other value added forms such as super-washed and micro-wave ready.

    The potato originated in the South American Andes, but its heartland of wild genetic diversity reaches from Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay, southern Brazil, northward into Central America, Mexico, and the southwestern United States. Potato was first cultivated between 3 and 7 thousand years ago, some scientists believe they may have grown wild in the region as long as 13,000 years ago. Potato is the third most important food crop in the world after rice and wheat in terms of human consumption. More than a billion people worldwide eat potato, and global total crop production exceeds 300 million metric tons. Located in Lima, Peru The international potato center maintains the largest collection of potatoes in the world, including more than 7,000 accessions of native, wild, and improved varieties. Potatoes can grow from sea level up to 4,700 meters above sea level from southern Chile to Greenland. Potatoes are produced in over 100 countries worldwide. Potato is vegetative propagated, meaning that a new plant can be grown from a potato or piece of potato, called a “seed”. The new plant can produce 5 through 20 new tubers, which will be genetic clones of the mother seed plant. Potato plants also produce flowers and berries that contain 100-400 botanical seeds. Potatoes can have white, yellow, pink, red, purple, and even blue flesh color. Yellow is primarily due to the presence of carotenoids concentrations, red, purple, and blue color have anthocyanin’s. Both are antioxidants and believed to play an important role in preventing cancer and diseases related to ageing. Potato varies in color, size, shape, starch content and taste.…

    Potato

    The potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial Solanum tuberosum of the Solanaceae family (also known as the nightshades). The word may refer to the plant itself as well as the edible tuber. In the region of the Andes, there are some other closely related cultivated potato species. Potatoes were introduced outside the Andes region four centuries ago, and have become an integral part of much of the world's cuisine. It is the world's fourth-largest food crop, following rice, wheat and maize.[1] Long-term storage of potatoes requires specialised care in cold warehouses.[2] Wild potato species occur throughout the Americas, from the United States to southern Chile.[3] The potato was originally believed to have been domesticated independently in multiple locations,[4] but later genetic testing of the wide variety of cultivars and wild species proved a single origin for potatoes in the area of present-day southern Peru and extreme northwestern Bolivia (from a species in the Solanum brevicaule complex), where they were domesticated 7,000–10,000 years ago.[5][6][7] Following centuries of selective breeding, there are now over a thousand different types of potatoes.[6] Of these subspecies, a variety that at one point grew in the Chiloé Archipelago (the potato's south-central Chilean sub-center of origin) left its germplasm on over 99% of the cultivated potatoes worldwide.[8][9] The annual diet of an average global citizen in the first decade of the 21st century included about 33 kg (73 lb) of potato.[1] However, the local importance of potato is extremely variable and rapidly changing. It remains an essential crop in Europe (especially eastern and central Europe), where per capita production is still the highest in the world, but the most rapid expansion over the past few decades has occurred in southern and eastern Asia. China is now the world's largest potato-producing country, and nearly a third of the world's potatoes are harvested in China and India.[10]…

    Fast food culture, which began in the United States from the last century. Nowadays it has spread all over the world because of its convenience and cheapness. Especially in Asian countries that where are living on rice, the sudden increase of fast food restaurants have brought major changes in conventional food culture. For example, the amount of importation beef which is indispensable to a hamburger has increased since hamburger restaurants expanded into Japan in the 1970s. On the other hand, bread replaced rice; the consumption of rice has decreased. By the penetration of fast food, it is no exaggeration to say the world’s dining table is altered. Marcy Brinkley (2010) emphasises eating at a fast food restaurant may destroy family cohesiveness, which means that having meals alone has taken the place of the style of eating around a dining table. In addition, if the style of diet changes, the rhythm of life also would change. The fast food which does not spend much time to eat has quickened the tempo of the society.…

    Having been a vegetarian for 14 years, I have seen how much easier it has become to go veg. Back in 1993, it was a treasure hunt to look for vegetarian friendly places especially in UP Diliman where everyone is expected to have a taste of Beach House barbecue and the various street food near the University Shopping Center. Going out for dinner was especially tiresome. Feeling slightly embarrassed, I would order a dish sans the meat, the seafood, the oyster sauce, the patis, etc. Waiters and friends would look at me in a strange way as if to ask “Anong lasa non?” What’s worse is that people assume that a fresh salad is the only vegetarian dish, leaving me hungry all night long. It was the year 2000 when a major shift happened, perhaps in line with the Wellness Revolution that was taking the world by storm. Due to the number of people choosing healthier options, more and more restaurants and groceries have become vegetarian friendly. You don’t have to be completely vegetarian to enjoy vegetarian food. Make it a once a week affair or order one veg dish to complement your non-veg dishes. Here are a few of my favorite affordable, veggie friendly places.…
