Berlin’s Record Potato Harvest: Free Giveaway Eases Cost of Living
Following an exceptional potato harvest, a surplus known as the “Kartoffel-Flut” has resulted in a massive giveaway of potatoes in Berlin. Organized by a local newspaper and a search engine, the initiative has seen free potatoes distributed at numerous locations across the city, benefiting individuals, charities, and even the Berlin Zoo. The effort has sparked a revival of the potato’s popularity, with shared recipes and expert opinions highlighting its nutritional value. Although some farmers and environmentalists have criticized the situation, as it has devalued the crop, the remaining potatoes are still available.
