POTATOES: A HEALTHY ALTERNATIVE One of the goals of the Michigan Potato Industry Commission (MPIC) is to educate consumers on the health benefits of potatoes. Many people do not realize that potatoes are very bene- ficial for their health. Potatoes contain many of the essential nutrients that Americans are not getting enough of. Those eaten with the skin provide near- ly half of the daily value of vitamin C and are one of the best sources of fiber and potassium. One medium potato with skin provides 620 milligrams, or 18 percent of the recommend daily value of potassium, which helps regu- late fluids and maintain a healthy blood pressure. Potatoes actually rank highest in potassium of the top 20 most fre- quently consumed raw vegetables. One medium-sized potato has 100 calories and provides complex carbohydrates needed to fuel our brains and bodies, giving us the energy we need for a busy life. Research released in October 2010 by the University of California Davis and the National Center for Food Safety and Technology demonstrates that people can include potatoes in their diet and still lose weight. The results of this study confirm what health professionals and nutrition experts have said for years: when it comes to weight loss, it is not about eliminating a certain food or food groups, rather, it is reducing calories that count. On average a potato has only about 100 calories and no fat, sodium or cholesterol, making it the perfect choice when adhering to a strict diet. Many restaurants have become aware of the health bene- fits potatoes offer. Recent menu innovations and consumer preferences for skin-on mashed potatoes and other skin-on potato dishes have brought the potato more to the plate center, producing eye appeal and cost savings. MPIC feels it is its duty to inform consumers on all the benefits of potatoes so that they can live a healthy and comfortable lifestyle.

MAKE GREAT CREPES WITH KRAMPOUZ Delicious, quick, sweet or savory, crêpes are loved universally and offer almost infinite menu possibilities. Fast food operations, family restaurants, breakfast joints, food trucks, concession stands and cafés can create entire menus around them. The key to a good crêpe is a good crêpe maker. And the key to a good crêpe maker is high temperature distributed, and maintained, evenly on a quality cast iron surface, thus allowing you to achieve the signature colouration of a great crêpe and be able to make batches quickly without having to adjust the tem- perature all the time. But how do you build one? Solving this question became the obsession of the Briton Jean-Marie Bosser, Brittany is the northwestern part of France and also widely recognized as the birthplace of crêpe making. And so in 1949, by combining precision tempera- ture control with a superior cooking sur- face this crêpe loving Briton not only achieved his goal but also created Krampouz, which is now the premier manufacturer of professional crepe mak- ers in France. Heat distribution, tempera- ture stability, quality of the cooking sur- face, safety and comfortable working conditions were the founding design cri- teria of the products then as they are now. The continuous search for performances in cooking equipment has enabled the company to make a name for itself as the leader in crepe maker production and to diversify its offering to other batter cooking equip- ment such as waffles and churros makers. The ability of Krampouz equipment to satisfy the expectations of users has led the company to expand throughout the world and is now firmly implanted and recognized as an industry leader in Europe, North and South America, Asia, Africa and Australasia. 100 percent designed and assembled in France, the Krampouz crêpe and waf- fle maker range offers you the best possi- ble solutions for your needs.
