Potato, red skin, peeled, boiled

Round in shape, with a pink to red smooth skin and a creamy yellow flesh. Peeled and boiled in unsalted water, then drained.

The majority of proximates, vitamins and minerals were derived from individual analyses of 3 purchases of red-skinned potatoes (Ruby Lou, Red Ruby and an unspecified variety) sampled nationally across the summer and winter months of 2008, purchased raw and boiled in the laboratory (Key Foods Program, 2008). B2, B6, folate, pantothenate, ash, sugars, tryp and I were derived from composite analyses of 12 purchases of both white- and red-skinned potatoes (6x unspecified pale-skinned, 1x Coliban, 1x Seymour Gold, 1x Pink Eye, 1x Ruby Lou, 1x Red Ruby, 1x unspecified red-skinned) as part of the above program, purchased raw and boiled in the laboratory. Carotenes, organic acids, tocopherols, Mg and P were derived from a composite of 10 purchases of 3 varieties of potatoes (8x Sebago, 1x Ruby Lou, 1x Coliban) purchased nationally in 2006 (Key Foods Program, 2006). Fatty acids, cholesterol and retinol were imputed zero based on international literature. Vit C is averaged from both the 2006 and 2008 Key Foods Programs - value may be lower than expected due to age, handling and preparation of the sample.
