Potato Day was February 23rd at the Oregon State Capitol! Thank you to Senator Bill Hansell and Representative Mark Owens for giving remarks on both the Oregon House and Senate floors today highlighting the important role that potatoes play in Oregon’s agriculture and food processing sectors, as well as the important nutrition benefits of potatoes! We look forward to continuing our engagement with the entire Oregon Legislature in the future to promote the many benefits of the number one vegetable grown in Oregon!

Potatoes are one of the most nutritious foods you can eat. They have fewer calories than a grapefruit, more potassium than a banana and more usable iron than any other vegetable. They are also high in fiber, rich in vitamins and minerals and contain no fat or cholesterol.
