In 1975, bananas cost 23.2 cents per pound, which would be $1.46 in 2026 money. As of March 2026, the average price of bananas is about 66 cents per pound.

Celeriac has been the ruiner of many a soup that I have been fed, overshadowing the taste of the other ingredients and dominating the flavour profile.

Bananas are a good source of potassium; however, they are not a great source of potassium, or even among the top 10 foods containing this essential element.

"Consumers want healthy foods, but at the time of purchase, cravings often prevail. The high oil content adds flavor, but it also contains a lot of energy and calories."

Potato sprouts contain compounds (specifically glycoalkaloids like solanine and chaconine), which stick in the potatoes' skin and become toxic in the body when consumed in large quantities, leading to an upset stomach or indigestion. However, it's worth noting that potatoes already contain glycoalkaloids - the compound is just more concentrated in the sprouts.

Kettle-cooked potato chips are usually sliced thicker and cooked in smaller batches for longer amounts of time. They get cooked in kettles that are filled with oil, and the temperature of the fat gets adjusted throughout the cooking process.

Lines often form outside the doors of those looking for their choice of French fries, sauces, and toppings - and some of these orders aren't simply topped, they are towers.

There is perhaps no food more humble than a baked potato. But driven by creators like the U.K.'s SpudBros - 4.9 million followers and counting - POV footage of scored, fluffed, and amply topped spuds are all over TikTok. Baked potatoes are just as convenient as Sweetgreen or Chipotle, and should be as prevalent, but only recently has New York caught up to the glories of the quick-potato lunch.

Also known as potato chops, these treats trace their roots to the kitchens of Christian communities across India, Pakistan and Iraq, where they became a celebratory staple at weddings, holidays and family feasts. The building blocks are spiced minced meat, a dough made of mashed potatoes and then the patties are shaped. The beef on the inside, the potato on the outside, and you dip each one in egg wash and breadcrumb and then shallow fry it.

If you love your salty snacks (and who doesn't?), we have a game-changing idea. Potato chips are irresistibly delicious, but we all know the unfortunate truth that they're a far cry from healthy, with their sodium and unhealthy fats. But you don't have to give up the experience of enjoying a crunchy, savory snack; in fact, you can even upgrade that experience with chickpeas.

Barley, the grain that is featured in this dish, is one of our most nutritious grains; it contributes protein, thiamine and niacin. Barley also is a rich source of dietary fiber. For a vegan rendition, use vegan yogurt and maple syrup instead of honey in the dressing and use olive oil instead of butter when sauteing the mushrooms. The dish is a main course salad and should be served at room temperature.
