Yellow Finn is a potato cultivar.Its origin is sourced to Europe. [1] [2] It is medium-sized with yellow flesh and skin that varies from white to yellow.[1]Although its yields are described as low, the cultivar was widely grown in California by small-scale producers during the 1990s.
These potatoes also have coloured skin, but many varieties with pink or red skin have white or yellow flesh, as do the vast majority of cultivated potatoes. The yellow colour, more or less marked, is due to the presence of carotenoids. Varieties with coloured flesh are common among native Andean potatoes, but relatively rare among modern varieties.
For culinary purposes, varieties are often differentiated by their waxiness: floury or mealy baking potatoes have more starch (20–22%) than waxy boiling potatoes (16–18%). The distinction may also arise from variation in the comparative ratio of two different potato starch compounds: amylose and amylopectin .
The variety has the advantage of producing a good crop of potatoes, with a longer than average harvest time. [ 4 ] It was the winner in the Fresh Produce category at the Q Food and Drink awards in 2006 and won gold at The Grocer Own Label Awards in 2011, where the judges said that there was no need to add butter to improve the taste.
California farms produce 90% of all U.S.-grown avocados, with the great majority being of the Hass variety. [14] In 2021 [ 15 ] the state harvest was 135,500 short tons (122,900 t) on 46,700 acres (18,900 ha) for a yield of 2.9 short tons per acre (6.5 t/ha), and at $2,430 per short ton ($2,679/t) that brought $327,369,000.
The Red Pontiac (also known as Dakota Chief) is a red-skinned early main crop potato variety originally bred in the United States, [1] and is sold in the United States, Canada, Australia, Marruecos, the Philippines, Venezuela and Uruguay. It arose as a color mutant of the original Pontiac variety in Florida [2] by a J.W. Weston in 1945. [3]
A Marfona is a potato cultivar with a moderately waxy texture. It originated in the Netherlands in 1975. [1] It has a light brown or yellow skin and a yellow to cream flesh, [2] and is a high yielding Second Early variety. [3] Due to the potato having a strong flavour it is very good for use as baking, boiling and mashing. [2]
Sagittaria latifolia is a plant found in shallow wetlands and is sometimes known as broadleaf arrowhead, [5] duck-potato, [6] Indian potato, or wapato. This plant produces edible tubers that have traditionally been extensively used by Native Americans .
