Potatoes USA Recognized with Gold MyPlate Champion Achievement

The MyPlate National Strategic Partner Team recently recognized Potatoes USA with the Gold MyPlate Champion Achievement for actively participating in the MyPlate national strategic partnership and promoting MyPlate to important audiences. 

Launched in 2011, MyPlate is the official symbol of the five food groups and is a visual reminder to choose a variety of foods throughout the day and week. It represents what and how much to eat from each food group over the day. 

Working with other strategic partners, Potatoes USA created new informational handouts for healthcare professionals to help educate patients on healthy eating habits and how to incorporate nutritious vegetables, like potatoes, into their diets. 

Additionally, as part of the partnership with MyPlate, popular recipes from PotatoGoodness.com are expected to be featured on MyPlate Kitchen, one of the many tools available to consumers to help ensure that half their plates are filled with fruits and vegetables.
