Potatoes have an important role in the world of vegetables which are of the tuber type, which have a myriad of benefits with their rich content of folate and various vitamins. Besides that, I've read an article that potato vinegar is very good for the skin. That can moisturize the skin, and prevent dehydration and skin regeneration. So that's why it's not uncommon for me to use potatoes as a face mask on holidays or certain days to get maximum tenderness after using it. Well, besides that, potatoes are often an alternative food that is quickly prepared when the stomach starts to feel hungry. Haha don't even be surprised I just boil it and I consume it, it's delicious too.
Vegie Shopping
Potatoes
A million benefits and a variety of favorite preparations from potatoes, making this type of root vegetable a must always be available at home.
Vegan friends, it's been a long time since I had a good time to participate in a vegan shopping contest. This happened because of busyness at home, last week, for example, there were lots of events at home. Even just cooking in the kitchen for big events at home, I didn't have time to record and share with you. However, this time feels different, I'm going to show you my participation in the vegan shopping edition contest, which has the theme of potatoes. Well potatoes are my favourite, and it just so happens that I run out of potatoes at home. Fulfilling shopping invitations this time is not much different from usual, I am always accompanied by my friends. You must know, shopping alone is not always fun right? So boring.
About 20 minutes from home, I arrived at a traditional market. I'm always used to shopping here, even though it's crowded here it's very complete. I think the potatoes I'm looking for can only be found in this market, even in other markets I rarely find these potatoes.
This purple potatoes is one of my favorite potatoes out of the many types of potatoes around us. The texture and color of the yellow-yellow flesh makes it taste different from potatoes in general. At first glance, these potatoes are very similar to sweet potatoes, but who would have thought that these potatoes are tastier than regular potatoes. The texture is really soft and legit which makes a difference in my opinion
Choosing the best potatoes and of course still fresh is something that must be done. But there's no doubt about it, here is fresh vegetable heaven, just look at how these potatoes are so fresh that even some other vegetables are like that. Ahh I was excited to see this, I immediately rushed to ask how many kilos of potatoes now. But now the price of potatoes has soared from the price of IDR 10,000 per kg now to IDR 14,000 to IDR 15,000 per kilo. And this has been increasing for a very long time since the past month, the price has remained stable at that price and has never decreased again.
The price of potatoes with purple skin is different from the potatoes we usually see. The purple skin potatoes has a price of IDR. 15,000 a kilogram, while regular potatoes are IDR. 14,000. I wanted to buy both and I bought ½ kilo per item. I started picking potatoes, because I have to be very careful when buying potatoes, usually in piles there are rotten or spoiled potatoes. So this one has to be really observant, and don't want to miss even a single rotten fruit, haha. Well, the thing that really bothered me when I got home were some of the groceries that were damaged. Well, anticipating this, I chose it quite definitely and definitely seriously, just look at the expression on my face while doing this.
After buying potatoes, I also took time as usual to enjoy a plate of lontong. Lontong is a traditional breakfast that is often sold in traditional markets like this. Lontong is made from vegan ingredients, with rice cooked for hours and vegetable gravy and noodle sticks, what makes it so delicious is the peanut sauce that is so tempting. It is this combination that creates the extraordinary taste of the vegetable lontong noodles.
After shopping, and enjoying a lontong breakfast, I immediately returned home. Now it's fun time packing up the groceries, storing the potatoes in an open container in a basket on a stick. So here I don't wash the potatoes, so they can last longer in dry conditions.
Now tips for you, store potatoes in dry conditions like I did. Of course in an open container at room temperature like in a basket. Usually the longevity of potato from in open conditions can reach a month to 2 months. This is what I usually do, and I never store potatoes in the fridge, if I have any I usually do it only briefly for a few livers. So, remember not to expose the potatoes to water or in damp conditions.
Friends, if you have a choice of various potatoes, what is your favorite potato, and what is your reason for choosing this potato. I'm sure you have something unique about it and even about shopping, you must have your own way of choosing fresh and quality potatoes.
Here I also want to invite 2 of my friends to participate in the vegan shopping contest this time
