Holland-based Lamb Weston/Meijer recently offered a poundo Potato option to Nigerians desirous of a light swallow to combine with their favorite soups.
Based on the company’s product presentation, Lamb Weston Poundo Potato is made from 100% Irish potatoes and consists of flakes of the popular root vegetable which is made into a light swallow meal by pouring the flakes into boiling water and stirring for five minutes to produce a light smooth dough.
“The resultant swallow meal has an authentic potato taste and aroma,” the company’s experts explained.
Poundo Potato presents Nigerians desirous of a light swallow meal with a healthier, tastier, and very convenient option, according to Business Day.
“Potato is an excellent source of dietary fiber, potassium, Vitamins B6 & C, manganese, magnesium, and phosphorus; among other essential health benefits and this is fundamentally what drives the idea behind Poundo Potato. Potato is a superfood; and we are particularly happy that Lamb Weston Poundo Potato, since its introduction to the Nigeria market, has continued to offer our valued customers and consumers more options for enjoying potato meals in addition to the boiled or fried versions we have been accustomed to for many years,” Victor Nwachukwu, managing director of LWM Nigeria Ltd told the Nigerian journalists.
The company is one of the world’s largest producers and processors of potato products and its products are sold in over 100 countries around the world. The company added Nigeria to its portfolio in 2017. In Nigeria, Lamb Weston/Meijer trades as LWM Nigeria Ltd.
