About Peruna

Peruna, the Finnish word for potato, is a versatile and widely consumed root vegetable with a rich culinary history. Native to the Andes but embraced globally, potatoes are a staple in Finnish and Nordic cuisine, often featured in soups, stews, casseroles, and as a side dish. Nutritionally, peruna is an excellent source of carbohydrates and provides essential vitamins such as vitamin C and B6, as well as potassium and fiber when eaten with the skin. It’s naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, making it a wholesome choice. However, preparation methods like frying or excessive seasoning can add unhealthy fats or sodium. Boiled or baked potatoes retain their nutritional integrity, offering a satisfying and energy-packed food that complements a balanced diet.
