A Potato a Day
Potatoes are one of the most nutritious foods
you can eat. They have fewer calories than a grapefruit, more potassium than
a banana and more usable iron than any other vegetable. They are also high
in fiber and loaded with complex carbohydrates.
Eating potatoes with the peels still on adds
extra fiber, vitamins and flavor. And best of all, potatoes are fat-free.
