Potato Sprouts: Are They Good? http://www.organicfacts.net Sat, 21 Nov 2009 02:16:15 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.organicfacts.net/organic-vegetables/organic-potato/potato-sprouts-are-they-good.html#josc358 Along with several other ministers, we I am doing short-term mission work in Bangladesh. The government there, is trying to get the nation to eat more potatoes because of the high cost of rice, etc. We have 42 girls in an orphanage which we are helping. It has been very difficult for the staff there to purchase rice for the girls becuause of the high cost, and the fact that Bangladesh is the poorest nation in the world. Could you tell me, if potatoes have a higher nutritional value than rice. If we could get these girls the equipment to plant, harvest, and eat potatoes, it would be of great help as far as their diet and general health. Thank you for any advice you can give. Sincerely Yours, Pastor Mike Murray Litchfield, MI.

In Bangladesh, sweet potatoes are called \"mishti aloo\".
