Good morning Edy_CartagenaPractical tipsPreparation for 1 bag (approx. 3 portions of 270g each prepared). Bring 5dl of water with half a teaspoon of salt and approx. 15g of fresh butter to the boil in a covered saucepan. Add 175ml cold milk and remove the pan from the heat immediately. Pour the potato flakes into the pan and spread with a ladle so that all the flakes are well coated. After about 1 minute, stir gently (do not beat) until the mashed potatoes are nice and smooth and fluffy.Source: https://www.leshop.ch/de/supermarket/home(smt:product/125988)?utm_campaign=lead&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=migipedia.migros.ch Best regards Frederica

Hello Edy_Cartagena, thank you for your question. We will be happy to tell you how to prepare one bag (approx. 4 portions of 200g each): Bring 5 dl of water with half a coffee spoon of salt (approx. 5 g) and approx. 15 g of fresh butter to the boil in a covered saucepan. Add 175 ml cold milk and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Pour the potato flakes into the pan and spread with a ladle so that all the flakes are well coated. After about 1 minute, stir gently (do not beat) until the mashed potatoes are nice and smooth and fluffy. We wish you a good appetite! Best regards, your M-Infoline team

HelloErrorWarrior, we consider the information per 100g of prepared product (the product was prepared with whole milk) to be more consumer-friendly. The following approximate values can be calculated per 100g of dry product: Energy value: 1462 kJ 345 kcal , fat content < 0.5 %, of which saturated fatty acids < 0.5 %, carbohydrates 75 %, of which sugar 0.5 %, dietary fiber 8 %, protein 7 %, salt 0.13 %. Best regards, your M-Infoline team

I also always need the dry product information, as I proceed differently for vegan preparation.

Hello jordlae_vegan Thank you for your inquiry. The product does not contain any animal substances. The E-numbers are also of purely vegetable origin. MB potato flakes are therefore ideal for a vegan diet. Kind regards, your M-Infoline team

However, a vegan diet should also be a healthy diet and not contain additives that destroy vitamin B. Vitamin deficiency is a serious matter. However, the symptoms have long been known: https: //de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thiamin#Mangelerscheinungen_.28Hypovitaminose.29 "Thiamine, vitamin B1 or aneurin is a water-soluble vitamin from the B complex with a faint but characteristic odor and is particularly essential for the functioning of the nervous system. If vitamin B1 is no longer supplied to the body for approx. 14 days, 50% of the reserves are used up. It is also popularly known as the mood vitamin."

Cooked jacket potatoes contain just 0.07 (comparison: green peas 0.30 and sunflower seeds a whopping 1.90) mg thiamine/100 g. Thiamine is destroyed by cooking and dissolves very well in water, so even the non-sulphited boiled potato would contain practically nothing. What is more positive about M-Budget mashed potatoes is that they contain three different reducing agents, only one of which is sulphite, otherwise ascorbic acid and ascorbic acid esters. Furthermore, as I never eat only mashed potatoes, even for a single meal, I do not consider the sulphite in the potato flakes to be critical (for me). I eat wholemeal bread, oatmeal, peas, sesame seeds, soybeans (e.g. edamame), ... everything has much more thiamine than the little bit from the cooked potato.
