Idaho® potatoes perfect gluten-free solution for foodservice

Health issues have become hot button foodservice topic as consumer lifestyle concerns continue to grow. In particular, consumer awareness of gluten as a trigger for autoimmune and other conditions has rocketed to prominence, creating both a new industry of gluten-free products and a new gluten-free menu category. While the resulting wave of gluten-free menu requests has stymied many a foodservice operator, a popular, widely available solution is always at hand: Idaho® potatoes.

All natural and packed with goodness (for just 110 calories, a medium skin-on potato contributes more potassium than a banana, nearly half the daily value of vitamin C, and is an excellent source of fibre), Idaho® potatoes provide a tasty foundation for gluten-free appetizers, salads, sides, entrées and desserts. On a dedicated web page, the Idaho Potato Commission (IPC) has compiled the Idaho® potato’s gluten-free benefits and favourite gluten-free recipes. In fact, many of the foodservice recipes in the IPC database fit the gluten-free profile. Nor are operators limited in the selection of Idaho® potato varieties. Idaho grows and packs over 25 types, each offering unique appearance, flavour profile and recommended usage.
