Heidekartoffel potatoes

Almost all typical German food in Niedersachsen comes with these yellow spuds. The “heath’s hidden gold” is bursting with potassium, protein and vitamins. Potatoes grown on Lüneburg Heath are known for being quality produce, not least because the cropland is on sandy heathland soil. Only producers from the Lüneburg Heath region can use the “Lüneburg Heathkartoffel” (“Lüneburg Heath potatoes”) name.
