Nutrients in potatoes

In 300 grams of potatoes, there are about 50% of the vitamin C we need each day, about 7 grams of fiber, vitamin B6 and potassium, about 50% of the daily value.

It’s full of flour. Won’t it make you fat if you eat it  ?

The reason we have the image that potatoes make us fat is partly because of the image of oily French fries. So if you don’t eat them like that, don’t think too much about it. Don’t forget that rice is also full of starch…

For those who want to eat potatoes, you can choose to eat them by washing the skin and baking them. You can eat them instead of rice. It has a crispy, dry outside, juicy inside taste that is different from other potatoes.

P.S. If you are really afraid of gaining weight or have diabetes and are afraid of sugar from starch, bake them just right because potatoes will have a higher Glycemic index if they are cooked very well and in the case of mashed potatoes, but if they are baked just right, the GI value will not be very high.

Health’s notes: The Glycemic Index or GI is an index used to measure the quality of carbohydrate foods by measuring how much the food can increase blood glucose levels after eating, digesting, and being absorbed into the body’s digestive and assimilation system (about 2-3 hours after eating). The GI value ranges from 0 to 100. For example, glucose or white bread will have a Gl value of 100.

Therefore, in the case of potatoes, the longer they are baked, the higher our blood glucose levels will be.
