Potatoes are a healthy food. Full of fiber and potassium, this amazing vegetable has gained its rightful place at lunch and dinner tables across the country.
For many years potatoes were known as a food to be avoided. Known as a fattening and unhealthy food, the potato was to be avoided by people wanting to lose weight or eat healthy. Time and research has changed all that. Concerns of fat and sodium have been proven false. There is very little fat or sodium in a potato unless you add it yourself. Sour cream, butter and salt added to potatoes make them high in fat and sodium, but the potato alone or with low-fat spices and condiments is highly nutritious and delicious. The potato has now gained its rightful place at lunch and dinner tables everywhere. |
