RE: Can mashed potatoes be part of a healthy diet?
Sprayed potatoes? I had to look this up: Chlorpropham (or CIPC) is isopropyl-N-(3-chlorophenyl) carbamate, and is widely used as a sprout suppressing agrochemical applied to stored potatoes. Either it doesn't work, or I've been buying un-sprayed, because my store potatoes stored in a cool, dry place almost ALWAYS sprout within a week or so. Thank you for another informative post, @fitinfun!
Potatoes are sprayed something like 15 times throughout the growing cycle. Pretty much everything you get in a traditional grocery has been sprayed - organic or not, @carolkean. But the less spray the better. Interesting that yours are sprouting. There are YT videos with people showing they will not sprout. Such a mess in the food supply these days. Just do the best you can :)
