On occasion, some of the potatoes we receive from farms and deliver to the Boston Organics Community have “hollow heart,” a discolored hole in the center of a healthy potato. Don’t worry, our potatoes aren’t sad. Hollow heart occurs when the potato grows too quickly and tears itself apart, often due to excessive moisture in the soil from too much rain or improper watering.
