Lidl Jumbo Russet Potatoes

The barcode 4506489651918 is associated with Lidl’s "Jumbo Russet Potatoes" (a common variety of baking potatoes). Below is a detailed breakdown based on available data, product characteristics, and general considerations for this item:

Product Details

• Brand: Lidl (a major European discount supermarket chain, also present in the U.S. and other regions).
• Product Type: Russet potatoes (a starchy, high-moisture variety often used for baking, frying, or mashing).
• Packaging: Typically sold in 5–10 kg (11–22 lb) bags (common for "jumbo" or bulk sizes). The exact packaging may vary by region.
• Origin: Potatoes are often sourced from EU countries (e.g., Netherlands, Poland, Germany) or global suppliers (e.g., Peru, Egypt) depending on Lidl’s procurement. The exact origin isn’t always labeled on the barcode alone but may be noted on the packaging.
• Certifications: Some Lidl potato products carry organic (EU Organic logo) or fair-trade labels if applicable, but this barcode doesn’t inherently guarantee those certifications—check the packaging for specifics.

Price Range (Historical Data)

Prices fluctuate by region, season, and promotions, but approximate costs for Lidl Jumbo Russet Potatoes (5–10 kg) are:

• Europe (e.g., UK, Germany, Spain): €2.50–€4.50 per 5 kg (or €5–€9 per 10 kg).

Health and Safety Considerations

1. Nutritional Profile:
   • Calories: ~77 kcal per 100g (varies slightly by variety).
   • Carbohydrates: High in complex carbs (good energy source).
   • Fiber: Moderate (skin-on potatoes retain more fiber).
   • Vitamins/Minerals: Contains vitamin C, potassium, and vitamin B6, but cooking methods (e.g., boiling vs. frying) affect nutrient retention.
   • Glycemic Index (GI): Russets have a medium GI (~85–95), meaning they raise blood sugar relatively quickly. Pairing with protein/fiber (e.g., in a baked potato with beans) can mitigate this.
