Rock Hard Potatoes - Secrets of Dutch Concrete
Secrets of Dutch Concrete
 Published: Apr 30, 08

After watching a “Mr. Potatohead” commercial on TV, I got the urge to do a quick Internet search on alternative uses for potatoes.  I was expecting to find some funny pictures to spam my friends’ e-mail with, but to my surprise, I found myself involved in some more serious research.

I stumbled across the Spring 2006 issue of “Spudsmart” and found a short article about a Dutch concrete company named Noppert Beton, which uses a modified potato starch in their concrete mixture.  Their reason for doing so is no advertising gimmick—the use of the extract accelerates production time, and therefore reduces costs.
