THE ADVANTAGES OF PAPER PACKED POTATOES - POTATO SACKS UK

19/7/2017

0 Comments

 
It is generally accepted that potatoes keep best when stored in a well ventilated container in a cool, dry location, away from sunlight and excess moisture. It is because of this that paper packaging is an excellent choice for potatoes. There are a number of key advantages to packing potatoes in paper bags that make it a no-brainer for packers, retailers and consumers alike. ​​
​
  • Protection from greening and sprouting - exposing potatoes to direct sunlight for extended periods will lead to a build up of a chemical called solanine. This causes the potatoes to turn 'green' and sprout and will spoil them for eating. Paper packaging is good for blocking out light and prevents potatoes from going green and sprouting. 
  • Increase in shelf life - paper packed potatoes will keep much longer in storage and on the shelf than potatoes that are exposed to excess light, moisture and heat. The good ventilation properties of paper sacks coupled with its ability to hold moisture mean that it is an excellent way to maximise the shelf and storage life of your spuds. 
  • Environmentally friendly - paper is a recyclable material and so potato sacks can be placed in the recycling bin when empty. All J&M Kehoe potato sacks are fully recyclable for your peace of mind.
