Potato (Solanum tuberosum) is a plant of the Solanaceae family originating from the South American Andes, where Quechua Indians called it “papa”. After cereals, potato is the most important food crop. The energy value of potatoes is only 86 kcal per 100 g of a meal (boiled potatoes). In 100 grams of raw potato there are 80.96% water, 0.14 g fat, 1.89 g protein, 15.90 g carbohydrates (13.35 g starch; 1 g sugar) and 1.70 g fiber. Potato is a valuable source of vitamins and minerals: vitamin C, niacin, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, thiamine, folate, potassium, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, manganese and calcium.
The above-ground stem is herbaceous, up to finger-thick, 0.50 m high and angular. The leaves are irregularly pinnate, divided into egg-shaped leaflets. The flowers (depending on the potato variety) range from white to violet and are located on long stalks. The fruit is a yellowish-white-greenish berry.
It is used for human and livestock nutrition and as an industrial raw material for producing starch, alcohol, potato sugar and more. The underground tuber is used in nutrition. After the discovery of America, this plant conquered the world. At the end of the 16th century it was brought to Spain, and probably to Ireland and England, from where it spread across the rest of Europe. In Croatia, potatoes were brought by border soldiers in 1779 and 1780, and since then they have been an indispensable part of the diet in our regions.
At first it was cultivated as an ornamental plant, but due to population growth, wars and hunger it began to be cultivated as an agricultural crop. Other folk names for potato are krompir, krtola, kumpir, krumpijer, kalamper, podzemljica and patata. The people of Belica, who produce the most potatoes in our country, proudly call it kalamper.
