Potato processor Aviko is hoping for success in foodservice with its healthier, steam-cooked range of products.

The company, one of the leading players in chilled potato products, has launched the new range to meet growing demand for healthier potato options, as well as increased convenience.

Aviko said the steaming process locks in all the valuable minerals, nutrients and natural potato taste after which the product is then atmospherically packed to create a healthier pre-prepared potato.

The product is produced with 100 per cent pure potato and no additives and the company said it contains 0g of fat when regenerated in a steamer.

Aviko said the product is quick to cook and ideal for time-pressed kitchens, as it requires no washing, peeling, blanching or boiling. The range includes chilled whole potatoes, classic potato half and quarter, sauteed potatoes, diced potatoes, mini baby potatoes and cubes for mashing.
