Influencer Spotlight: Meet Lauren Twigge

September 10, 2024

Lauren Twigge is a Dallas-based registered dietitian whose childhood growing up on a farm shaped many of her nutrition perspectives. Her passion is helping her 63,500 Instagram and TikTok followers “understand food and farming.” Lauren recently attended Tuber U—a two-day nutrition and culinary immersion event to educate nutrition professionals about the benefits of potatoes. Participants not only learned about how potatoes are grown and are a good source of fuel for the body, they also got to try some hands-on potato prep in the Spud Lab.

Following the event, Lauren shared some fun facts she learned about potatoes with her followers, including:

1. Potatoes are grown from seed potatoes
2. Potatoes are a nutrient powerhouse
3. Potato nutrition isn’t just found in the skin
4. Potatoes are a source of resistant starch

I think we can all agree with Lauren when she said, “Potatoes are affordable, delicious and nutritious!”
