Jacket Potato

Potatoes are natural, nutritious and just the job for school meals!

Potatoes provide a range of vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C and folate. Naturally low in fat and sodium (salt) they are high in carbohydrate and fibre. Potatoes are versatile enough to be enjoyed in the diet in many ways and compliment lots of different foods.
