Potato Krasa

Stable Yield and Culinary Versatility

The potato variety "Krasa" from Ooo Fh Sedek is the choice for those seeking a balance between large tuber size and excellent culinary qualities. Developed in collaboration with the A.G. Lorch Federal Potato Research Center, this hybrid performs reliably in various soil types, maintaining a high-quality appearance even with minimal adjustments to farming practices.

Key Advantages

• Weight and Caliber: One of the main advantages of this variety is its size. Tubers weighing 200–300 grams significantly exceed the average size of many standard varieties, making them ideal for commercial presentation and convenient for kitchen preparation.
• Appearance and Texture: The bright red skin combined with light yellow flesh makes this variety highly attractive at retail. The texture is versatile: it does not turn mushy, retaining its shape during boiling and frying, a characteristic highly prized by chefs and home cooks alike.
• Growth Cycle: With a maturation period of 85–95 days, "Krasa" falls into the mid-season category. This timeframe is the "sweet spot," allowing the tubers to accumulate enough dry matter and sugars for a superior flavor profile, while avoiding the peak activity of many pests common to early plantings.

Who is this potato for?

This variety is ideal for both individual gardeners and commercial farms specializing in premium table potatoes. Unlike many early-season watery hybrids, "Krasa" requires time to fully mature, but rewards the grower with a consistent yield of dense, substantial tubers with excellent shelf life. When stored properly, the crop retains its market quality throughout the winter, making it an economically sound investment for any potato grower.
