Potatoes originated in South America and were domesticated by native peoples. They spread to Europe in the 1500s and became a widely cultivated crop.
Potatoes reached Lithuania when King August III was ruling. They became a staple food, with traditional Lithuanian cepelinai dumplings made from grated and stuffed potatoes becoming a signature dish.
Homegrown potatoes made for better cepelinai than store-bought potatoes, as commercial potatoes are often treated with chemicals that reduce starch and vitamin C content, causing the dumplings to lose shape and color. Ecologically grown potatoes are more nutritious.

India, with its rich heritage and deep-rooted culture, boasts a culinary history as old as time itself. The food habits of the country are deeply rooted in traditions, shaped by centuries of invasions, religious beliefs, and social customs. They have evolved and transformed over time, varying slightly from state to state. Each tradition has left an indelible mark on Indian gastronomy. Some ancient food traditions that are integral to India's culinary reputation have shaped its multicultural cuisine. So it comes as no surprise that some of these customs are still followed in many homes with the same tenacity as before, especially because they are also backed by scientific reasoning. These time-honoured practices not only add flavour to the food but also weave together tradition, culture, and identity, making Indian cuisine an experience like no other.

2. Potato – pretty commonly grown culture. Domesticated several thousands years ago. Very
many breeds are known. Wild potatoes grow in Andes mountains in South America, where
they were main source of food. From ancient times grown by natives in Chile, Ecuador,
Columbia, Bolivia, Peru, Argentine.
About 1565 m. potato tubers reached Europe. Shortly after tubers reached botanical garden in
Netherlands, where they were grown and spread as ornamental plants, until it was
understood, that tubers are nutritious , good tasting, good for nutrition. 1616 m. potatoes, like
rare and delicate meal, were only served in Paris for king’s table. Tasty, farinaceous tubers
were firstly called truffles. Since 1651 m. potatoes are grown for food. This was first done by
Germans.
Potatoes reached Lithuania when king of Poland and Grand Duke of Lithuania August III was
ruling. At first potato fields spread in lands of Estates but not long after they were grown by
all farmers.
3. Potato– solanaceous, root plant. More than 200 breeds are known. They are
different by color of the skin and flesh, shape of tuber and his composition.
Potatoes grows best in drained, fertile soil, plant is quite resistant bad weather
conditions, simple to grow, nutritious. Currently, potatoes are grown in all
continents, used for food and feeding animals, also used in industry. Most of them
are grown and consumed in Europe. This is one of the most important food plants,
all kinds of meals are prepared from them. Potatoes are highly suitable for children
nutrition. Kids uptake starch and other nutritious materials from potatoes well,
potatoes does not cause allergy. They accumulate less nitrates, compared to other
vegetables. This vegetable has a lot of potassium (more than bananas), vitamin C,
B group vitamins, protein, phosphorous, magnesium, iron, zinc, water.
4. By writing this project we want to show how potatoes are
grown in Lithuania, what kind of meals are made and how
widely is the culture of this vegetable spread.
Our main goal – to show differences between potatoes grown
for a wholesale trade and potatoes which are grown
ecologically.

17. Main meals in Lithuania are made from potatoes. Although
people eating habits change and less of this vegetable is being
eaten, potato will always find it’s place on our table. In our
country Cepelinai with meat became traditional meal.
Thus, we show you recipe of Cepelinai, way to make them
and a short video of how it’s made.
18. Ingredients:
• 12 raw potatoes.
• Three cooked potatoes.
• A pinch of salt.
• A spoon of source cream.
• 500 grams of minced meat.
• 2 onions.
• 2 spoons of dissolved pig fat.
• Back peppers.
19. Peeled potatoes are grated and drained. Liquid is not discarded, but we
wait until starch will gather. Then liquid is discarded, while starch is added
into grated potatoes mass. Cooked potatoes are mashed and mixes with
grated raw potatoes, starch, everything is salted and mixed. We take
around 80 g of dough, flatten it, put on some stuffing, then we bend it,
firmly press on edges and make prolonged dumplings. They are put into
salted boiling water and cooked for 20 – 25 minutes, mixing it carefully.
Taken out of water, cepelinai are put into a warmed bowl and covered
toasted in fat onions with source cream, greaves.
Cepelinai stuffing is made from raw or cooked meat, fat, liver or curd,
mushrooms and other.
For cepelinai with meat stuffing toasted onions, flavored with peppers and
salt into the meat.

22. Since we cooked from home grown potatoes and those which we bought in
super market, we got different results.
Cepelinai from bought potatoes lost its form, got indolent because:
1) Potatoes for selling are grown with chemicals, which increase growth,
preventing starch from forming, starch, is essential for cepelinai to keep
its form;
2) Potatoes are sprayed with all kinds of pesticides to protect from weeds,
parasites and diseases. These chemicals get into potatoes tubers and
destroy vitamin C. Vitamin allows potato to stay longer before it turns
black. Since vegetable does not have it, cepelinai changed their color.
23. Most people living in country side have vegetable gardens. All kinds of vegetables,
including potatoes, grow there. Since those gardens are rather small, people look after
them themselves: plant, water them, remove any weeds.
Rarely anyone, who is growing vegetables for his own need only, uses fertilizers,
pesticides or chemicals from parasites. This makes all conditions needed for vegetables
to form naturally. They don’t loose all their positive properties, remain nutritious and
tasty.
So that’s why cepelinai made from home grown potatoes, didn’t lost their color,
maintained their shape and were very tasty and nutritious. Food, made of natural
products is much tastier and healthier. Potatoes, which are grown ecologically are one of
the most nutritious products.
24. Grown ecologically, potato is a source of healthy food, so we
urge you to grow these vegetables at home or buy them in the
market from small farmers. By doing so you protect your
organism from pesticides. Pesticides and other chemicals can
disrupt your organism, weaken your immunity.
So, if you want to stay healthy and happy, eat food that is
ecological and well made!
