Camire Comments in Newspaper Potato Editorial
A Bangor Daily News editorial on the debate over potatoes in the nation’s school lunch programs included comments from UMaine food science and human nutrition professor Mary Ellen Camire. She says potatoes are a good source of nutrition and that small new potatoes available at the beginning of the season contain a particular starch that is harder to break down into sugar. Colored potatoes also bring antioxidants to the table, she says.
