Fresh Solutions Network, the exclusive supplier of Side Delights potatoes, recently shared nutritional information on potatoes and explained why a recent “Top 6 Diet Trends in 2025” story stated that “anti-inflammatory foods will rock in 2025.”
There are many reasons for consumers to follow the trend and adapt a diet rich in foods that contain the nutrients that can reduce inflammation, the company says, adding that along with helping to manage joint pain, anti-inflammatory foods can help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s and certain types of cancer. As consumers become aware of these benefits, certain foods that contain the nutrients that can reduce inflammation are also trending — and potatoes are one of them, according to a news release.
Potatoes are a part of many healthy diet plans, including the Mediterranean diet, the Paleo diet,and Whole 360. Now, a study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences specifically recommends potatoes as a healthy addition to an anti-inflammatory diet, the release said. In addition to being naturally low in calories, potatoes are cholesterol, fat and sodium-free. A significant source of health-promoting nutrients, potatoes are rich in fiber, potassium and vitamins C, B3 and B6.
Fresh Solutions Network says what consumers may not know is that potatoes also contain components such as carotenoids and anthocyanins — inflammation-fighting antioxidants that also give purple potatoes, yellow potatoes and sweetpotatoes their unique colors. The company says data confirms that in addition to high levels of vitamins and minerals, red potatoes contain healthy phytochemicals such as quercetin, which contain anti-inflammatory properties.
“As the awareness of their anti-inflammatory properties increases, shoppers will think of new ways to incorporate potatoes into their diet,” said Kathleen Triou, president and CEO for Fresh Solutions Network. “Side Delights offers products for all consumers, all meal occasions and all applications from convenience to gourmet. Side Delights potatoes are available in a variety of sizes and colors — perfect for healthy recipes like Purple Potato Salad with Beets and Arugula, California Avocado Tri-Color Potato Salad and Red Potato Skewers on the Grill.”
Side Delights says it offers a variety of nutritious, economical products, including bagged and bulk potatoes, potato kits, convenience potatoes, petite potatoes, fresh-cut potatoes and organic potatoes.
