We are pleased to announce the first harvest of SunLite™ potatoes, a tastier, healthier fresher potato that is initially being grown by Florida farmers for the first time ever. SunLite™ potatoes are now available in grocery stores across the Southeast United States.

In early tests conducted by researchers at the University of Florida Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences research farm, the SunLite™ potato consistently led all others in taste, texture and appearance.

Nutritional tests later concluded that a 5.2-oz. serving of a SunLite™ potato has 18 grams of carbohydrates compared with about 27 grams in the same size Russet potato -- a 30 percent difference adding to SunLite’s appeal!

Members of SunFresh of Florida Marketing Cooperative, Inc., growers of the SunLite™ potato, are dedicated to providing consumers with fresher potatoes. They are determined to bring SunLite™ potatoes from the ground to the dinner table in the shortest amount of time possible throughout the year, so that the potatoes taste their best.

As the official spokesperson for SunLite™ potatoes, Chef Charles Knight, author of the cookbook “Healthy Meat & Potatoes”, is available to offer up several excellent recipes that include these incredible potatoes, or see recipes here on our site.
