Lüneburger Heidekartoffeln

Germans eat more than 60kg of potatoes per capita a year. In Germany alone, farmers harvest approximately eleven million tons of potatoes per year, and almost every second German potato comes from Lower Saxony, the home of Lüneburger Heidekartoffeln. Since the mid-19th century, the Lüneburg Heath has been the largest potato-growing area in Germany.


The potatoes grown in this region are known to be particularly tasty, and they are considered a regional specialty. Lüneburg Heath potatoes always have a bright, smooth skin and yellow flesh. They are available in following varieties: Belana, Gloria, Princess, and Linda.
