Dried potatoes - Import export

"Organic Potato Flakes The potato (solanum tuberosum) is a plant that grows underground. The potato originally comes from South America, but nowadays it is grown in many European countries. Potatoes are cut and dried after harvesting, leaving flakes. Potato Purée Potato flakes are flat pieces of dried potato purée. The potatoes are first boiled and then mashed, after which they are flattened by large rollers in a drum. Because the potato flakes are quickly dried to the desired moisture content, the dried mashed potato flakes are then scraped off the drum and broken through a mill sieve. Because the flakes easily absorb (cold) water , these potato flakes are often used in food products. The potato starch retains its high absorption capacity because the flakes are rapidly dehydrated."
