Nutritional value of potatoes

Many people don’t know that potatoes, which we often eat, actually have very high nutritional value. Potatoes are no longer just on our tables. Because of their rich nutrients, they are widely used in various fields for the benefit of mankind.

What are the functions of potatoes?

1. Potatoes are a local product that were introduced to China from Europe in the 19th century. That is why foreigners call them potatoes and we call them potatoes. Potatoes are rich in starch and are often eaten as a staple food, such as mashed potatoes and French fries.

2. Although potatoes cannot compare with wheat and corn in terms of starch content, they are naturally superior in terms of nutrients. Potatoes contain a large amount of amino acids, among which glutamic acid is the most prominent. These amino acids can enhance our resistance and the development of muscle tissue, and are the first choice for teenagers.

3. Potatoes also have beauty effects. In industry, potatoes are used as raw materials for modified starch because of their unique beauty value. In other words, although potatoes are not good-looking, they are indeed the raw materials for many high-quality cosmetics and are the first choice for people who love beauty.

4. The vitamin content of potatoes is even higher than that of fruits such as oranges and apples. If tomatoes and oranges can treat oral ulcers due to their rich vitamin content, then I can responsibly tell you that insisting on eating potatoes can treat gastric ulcers.
