DID YOU KNOW?
-Kale is a descendant of wild cabbage and it originated in Asia Minor
-1/3 of potatoes grown in the US come from Idaho
-Kale is grown in cold temperatures and can handle frost which actually makes it sweeter
-The potato was the first vegetable grown in outer space
-Kale is high in A-C and Folic Acid
-The State of New York has the highest consumption of the potato-Idaho doesn’t even register in the top 5!
