Since nutritional values can differ among potatoes, the
Vivaldi can have up to 38% less carbohydrate and 56% fewer
calories than other varieties., the producers say.

In other words at a rough approximation, you're buying 38%
more water per pound\kilo of Vivaldi, compared with other
varieties, and each pound\kilo you eat will be 38% less
filling.
