Sinora Potato Supplier

Quick Overview

Sinora is a versatile, yellow-fleshed potato variety prized for its balanced starch content and excellent culinary performance. Developed to meet both commercial and household needs, it features a smooth texture that holds its shape well when cooked, making it ideal for a wide range of dishes. The tubers are medium to large in size, with an oval shape and smooth, light-yellow skin that requires minimal peeling. Sinora is particularly popular in European markets, where it is favored for its reliable yields and adaptability to various growing conditions. Whether boiled, roasted, or fried, this variety delivers a consistently pleasant flavor and firm texture, making it a top choice for chefs and home cooks alike.

Origin & History

Sinora was developed in the Netherlands as part of a breeding program aimed at creating a high-yielding, disease-resistant potato suitable for diverse culinary applications. Introduced in the early 2000s, it quickly gained popularity due to its balanced starch content, which bridges the gap between waxy and floury potatoes. The variety was specifically designed to resist common potato diseases such as late blight and potato virus Y, reducing the need for chemical treatments. Over time, Sinora became a staple in both fresh markets and food service industries across Europe, particularly in Germany and France. Its success lies in its ability to deliver consistent quality, whether grown in large-scale farms or smallholder plots.

Specifications

Sinora potatoes typically have a medium starch content (14–17%), placing them in the all-purpose category suitable for various cooking methods. The tubers are medium to large, weighing between 120–200 grams, with an oval shape and shallow eyes for minimal waste during preparation. The skin is smooth and light yellow, while the flesh is firm and creamy-yellow, retaining its color even after cooking. This variety has a moderate growing season of 90–110 days and performs best in well-drained, fertile soils with consistent moisture. Sinora also exhibits good resistance to bruising and mechanical damage, making it suitable for long-distance transport and storage.

Key Characteristics

1. Balanced Starch Content: Offers versatility for boiling, roasting, and light frying without becoming too mushy or too firm.
2. Disease Resistance: Shows strong tolerance to late blight and potato virus Y, reducing reliance on pesticides.
3. Uniform Shape & Size: Ensures even cooking and aesthetic appeal for both retail and food service markets.
4. Excellent Shelf Life: Maintains quality for extended periods when stored in cool, dark conditions.
5. Adaptable Growth: Thrives in a range of climates, from temperate to moderately warm regions, with proper irrigation.

Best Uses

Sinora is an all-around table potato, excelling in boiling, steaming, and roasting due to its ability to hold its shape while remaining tender. It is a preferred choice for potato salads, gratins, and stews, where texture consistency is crucial. While not the top pick for industrial chip production, it can be used for homemade chips or light frying when sliced thinly. The variety’s moderate starch content makes it less suitable for starch extraction but ideal for fresh consumption and food service applications. Whether served as a side dish or as the star of a meal, Sinora delivers a reliable, pleasant eating experience.
