What have you read about it?

which does not fill me with joy about it.


We have tried potatoes form three shops so far and all are the same. That
includes a Farm Shop that buys in potatoes.

They are perhaps all buying from the same wholesale supplier in your
area.. who stored them at the wrong temp.

I doubt that Sainsbury's and the Coop buy from the same place as Lyne Farm
Shop so it appears to be general in this area. We will try others.
