Potatoes: A Nutrition Powerhouse 

Did you know a medium potato has more potassium then a banana?

Potatoes are a true comfort food, they remind us of sitting around mom's dinner table on Sunday afternoons or on the special family holidays. A great family meal is always served up with a heaping dish of mashed potatoes or a dish of wonderful scalloped potatoes. Remember those times?

Of course we didn't know that the potato also contributes antioxidants such as vitamin C (one potatoes provides 45% of the daily requirement for Vit C!), is fat-free and a good source of fiber. One serving of skin-on potatoes (5.3- ounces) also contains 720 mg of potassium, making it an excellent source of potassium. If we want to stay healthy we must eat healthy foods. A diet that is rich in fruits and vegetables will help reduce the risk of some types of cancer. Enjoy your potatoes, the potatoes we love....... are good for us too! Think of them as Mother Nature's vitamin pills!
