Potato storage and preservation guidelines

Overview

In Germany, where annual consumption per person ranges between 50 and 60 kilograms, proper storage is emphasized to maintain potato freshness.

According to the Consumer Advice Center NRW, potatoes should be kept in cool, dark, and dry locations, ideally between 4 and 8 degrees Celsius. Temperatures exceeding this range may cause sprouting, while temperatures that are too low can trigger a conversion of starch into sugar, resulting in an overly sweet taste. Furthermore, the Consumer Advice Center Bavaria advises against storing potatoes alongside onions to prevent premature ripening.
