Are potatoes nutritious?
You bet! The potato is packed full of goodness. You’ll probably know them as a well-known and excellent source of low fat energy for your brain and body. What most people don’t realise is that they also provide substantial proportions of a whole range of important nutrients: Fibre, Vitamin C, potassium, Vitamin B1, B6, Niacin and Folate. Try this for size: a large jacket potato gives you more than half of the daily-recommended child requirement of Vitamin C.
