Overview

Do you know the nutritional value of potatoes? Potatoes contain a large amount of starch, protein, B vitamins, vitamin C, etc., which can promote the digestive function of the spleen and stomach. It is said that it is difficult to reconcile opinions, but this problem does not trouble Tudou at all. In France, potatoes are called underground apples. Potatoes also enjoy the title of the second bread in Europe and the United States. They contain twice as much vitamins as carrots, three times as much as Chinese cabbage, and four times as much as tomatoes. The content of vitamin C is the highest among vegetables. The content of calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and other minerals is also very high. Especially the potassium content can be said to rank first among vegetables. Potatoes also contain a lot of high-quality fiber, which can prevent constipation and cancer. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that potatoes have the effects of harmonizing the stomach, regulating the mind, strengthening the spleen, and replenishing qi. Eating them regularly is good for your health. With such good potatoes, it’s also important to eat them the right way. In life, everyone is used to cooking potatoes and eating them while they are hot, but there are reports that it is healthier to eat cooked potatoes refrigerated. This statement has some truth. Potatoes and other tubers are rich in resistant starch. This starch is more difficult to degrade than other starches. It is digested slowly in the body and will not raise blood sugar too quickly after consumption. It helps diabetics maintain normal blood sugar and reduce hunger. It also helps in the excretion of cholesterol and triglycerides, reduces the levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, can reduce atherosclerosis, and has a certain weight loss effect. The resistant starch content in potatoes is as high as 75%, but its content is affected by many factors. For example, cooked hot potatoes only contain 3% resistant starch, but after cooling, the resistant starch content increases to 12%. Therefore, cooked potatoes are healthier when eaten refrigerated. However, we need to be reminded that for people with gastrointestinal problems and poor digestion ability, resistant starch is not perfect and should be eaten less or not at all
