The story behind Spud Lite

Hi there! We’re the Pye family, the proud growers behind the Spud Lite potato.

Over the years, we’ve loved sharing our recipes with you and hope you’ve been enjoying them. As a family business based in South Australia, we grow a variety of potatoes, carrots, and onions, and are fortunate to send our produce across Australia and Asia for families to enjoy.

Spud Lite was an introduction that came from our old man (Mark Pye). Originally from New Zealand and with a background in potato growing, he wanted to develop a versatile, delicious yellow potato that would be a standout in any kitchen. Spud Lite uses a Dutch potato variety that ticks all his desired boxes. After growing it for a few years, we found that Spud Lite consistently had lower carbohydrates compared to other varieties on our farm (8.9 grams per 100 grams).

In 2015, we launched Spud Lite as a low-carb potato brand in Woolworths, and it has since grown to be available in Coles, Aldi, and the independents. We are incredibly proud of Spud Lite as a family and hope you enjoy the potato as much as we do.
