Kids Dig Spuds

Fuel your Kids for Fitness and Fun

Active kids need energy to play and nutrients to fuel healthy growth.

Complex carbohydrates, found in potatoes give them plenty of both.

A potato is loaded with enough vitamins and minerals that our

body needs so you could eat them every day!

Excellent source of energy-giving complex carbohydrates
More potassium than a banana
Nearly half the recommended daily intake of Vitamin C
Ample supply of immunity-boosting Vitamin B6

As much fibre as a 1/3 cup serving of oat bran
Contains essential zinc, iron, phosphorous and magnesium
80% water - low in calories, fat and sodium
Cholesterol-free, Fat-free, Gluten-free

Thank you to our generous sponsors who've graciously helped with these potato growing kits and make this program possible.
