About Uusi peruna

Uusi Peruna, meaning "new potato" in Finnish, refers to freshly harvested, young potatoes that are celebrated in Finnish cuisine, especially during summer. These small, tender potatoes have thin skins and a sweeter, milder flavor compared to mature varieties. Uusi Peruna is often boiled and served with dill, butter, or sour cream, showcasing its simplicity and natural taste. Nutritionally, these potatoes are a great source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and essential vitamins like Vitamin C and B6. They also contain minerals such as potassium, which supports heart health and muscle function. While naturally low in fat, the preparation can influence nutritional value; traditional accompaniments like butter may increase caloric and fat content. As a versatile and locally cherished ingredient, Uusi Peruna highlights the health benefits of seasonal eating and the cultural value of fresh, unprocessed foods.
