White potatoes

- Potatoes are one of the richest sources of starch, vitamins, minerals and dietary fiber. 100 g provides 70 calories, however, they contain very little fat (only 0.1 g per 100 g) and no cholesterol;

- they are very good sources of natural fibers, both soluble and insoluble. Dietary fiber in their composition increases the quality of stool, thus helping to prevent constipation.

- Tubers are one of the richest sources of B vitamins such as pyridoxine (vitamin B6), thiamine (B1), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5) and folate (folic acid).

- Fresh potatoes, together with their peel are a good source of antioxidant vitamins, for example vitamin C. 100 g of fresh tubers contain 11.4 mg or 20% of RDA (recommended daily dose) of this vitamin;
Regular consumption of foods rich in vitamin C helps the body fight against infectious agents and helps eliminate free radicals;
