A recent study has shown that by feeding electricity through nearly ready potatoes significantly increases the antioxidant content of those potatoes. 

Although this certainly improves the nutritional value of one of the world’s most loved vegetables, it does make you wonder why someone even thought to do it????

Have you heard of other interesting food studies that make you go, WHY????

Friday’s Green Tip – try to use natural light where possible. It is good for you and your staff with the  potential sunlight helping VitaminD. It reduces electricity costs and is great for the environment. Just make sure it is not a food safety issue through contamination and keep the glass or plastic surfaces clean.

Every little bit helps.
