NEWPORT BEACH, CA - Fresh Solutions Network® (FSN) shared nutritional information on potatoes and explained why the recent Top 6 Diet Trends in 2025 stated that “Anti-inflammatory foods will rock in 2025.”

There are many reasons for consumers to follow the trend and adapt a diet rich in foods that contain the nutrients that can reduce inflammation. In addition to helping manage joint pain, Anti-inflammatory foods can help prevent chronic diseases such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and certain types of cancer. As consumers become aware of these benefits, certain foods that contain the nutrients that can reduce inflammation are also trending. Potatoes are one of them.

As America’s favorite vegetable, potatoes are a part of many healthy diet plans, including the Mediterranean diet, the Paleo diet, and Whole 360. Now, a study published in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences specifically recommends potatoes as a healthy addition to an anti-inflammatory diet. In addition to being naturally low in calories, potatoes are cholesterol, fat, and sodium-free. A significant source of health-promoting nutrients, potatoes are rich in fiber, potassium, and vitamins C, B3, and B6.

What consumers may not know is that potatoes also contain components such as carotenoids and anthocyanins – inflammation-fighting antioxidants that also give purple, yellow, and sweet potatoes their unique colors. Data confirms that in addition to high levels of vitamins and minerals, red potatoes contain healthy phytochemicals such as quercetin, which contain anti-inflammatory properties.

“As the awareness of their anti-inflammatory properties increases, shoppers will think of new ways to incorporate potatoes into their diet,” noted Kathleen Triou, president and CEO of Fresh Solutions Network, in a recent press release. “Side Delights® offers products for all consumers, all meal occasions, and all applications from convenience to gourmet.
