10 X 5 lb bags Potato aka "Russet Potato", "Baking Potato", "Ma-Ling-Shu", "Tu-Dou", "Shu-Zai", "土豆", "薯仔", "马铃薯", "馬鈴薯" Potato is a root vegetable with oblong-shaped and dark brown skin. The flesh is white, dry, and mealy. Potato has a mild, pleasing potato flavor. It is suitable for baking, mashing, and process into french fries. Potato is available year-round. Handling Tip Selection Potato has a uniform brown color with no green appearance. No signs of blemishes, soft spots, or spouts. Storage The potato should be stored at 50°F - 59°F (10°C - 15°C) with a relative humidity of ninety-five to ninety-nine percent and no mist. The typical shelf life is two to twelve months depending on the quality at harvest and the quality of storage. High temperatures lead to shriveling, sprouting, and decay. Potato is sensitive to odor and should not be stored with strong aroma products. Potato also produces an odor that can be absorbed by apples and pears. Potato is sensitive to light. Exposure to light may lead to green-tinged skin. Store potato in a dark area for best quality. Potato is moderately sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Prolonged exposure to high levels of ethylene may induce sprouting. Potato produces a very low level of ethylene. Ethylene production increases drastically for potatoes with bruises or cuts. Potato is highly sensitive to chilling injury. Storage temperature of 34°F - 36°F (1°C - 2°C) can cause internal browning. Storage temperature of 37°F - 39°F (3°C - 4°C) can cause potato starch to convert to sugar which results in a sweet flavor. Potato is also sensitive to freezing injury and the freezing point of 30°F (-1°C) should be avoided.
