Hi Cristine, Do you like potato? Well, potato is good is classed as protective vegetable because of it's high vitamin C content. The energy value of the potato is the same as bread, but it is far better balanaced than bread particularly on it's contain of potassium ,vit. C and B1. The potatoes is also lower on calories. I also have read of some of its benefits in "medical use". Ex: Potato soup great advantage for uric-acid and stomach disorder, it replaces the minerals in the systems and a lot more benefits. Good day!

Potato have lots of nutrients in it. It contains carbohydrate hence it helps to gain you energy. In my home, I always have potato as a diet. In some part of nation, Potato is only eaten as regular meal. And those who only eats it are stronger than me. hehe

They are a vegitable so they have lots of vitamins and minerals, especially in the skin. I also heard of a potatoe diet where your diet is mostly potatoes. They are so large they fill you up and they are really low in calories.
