NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION
Nutritional Benefits of Potatoes:
The potato is a nutrient-dense food. It provides good nutritional return for the calories.
A medium-size potato (5.3 oz or 148 grams) has only about 100 calories, four to five percent of the average adult's total daily intake of calories, but provides much higher percentages of our needs for many nutrients.
For a real potato lover, a medium-size potato may not be enough of a good thing. Even a 250-gram potato (a little over one-half pound) has only about 160 calories, and the larger size gives you a real nutrition bonus. The potato gives us a wide spectrum of valuable nutrients, including complex carbohydrates, often lacking in the American diet.
The potato is a good source of vitamin C and hard to get B6 and has long been known to be a storehouse of minerals. Exact needs for all minerals are not established yet. The potato contains valuable supplies of such essential trace elements as manganese, chromium, selenium and molybdenum.
Fiber, almost entirely complex carbohydrates, has been the subject of renewed interest. Fiber is that part of the food we eat that is not digested by the body but rather travels through and holds water, forming the bulk we need for eliminating solid waste. While official recommendations for fiber haven't been established, about six grams daily is considered desirable. Most Americans fall short of this amount. Potatoes can add to the overall fiber intake. An average serving provides about 10 percent of a desirable daily intake of fiber.
Potatoes contain small amounts of protein. In fact, the protein in potatoes is among the best to be found in vegetables. Potatoes offer a good inexpensive supplementary source of protein in menu planning.
Iron is a mineral that's hard to get in sufficient amounts and is lacking in many diets, particularly those of women, teenage girls and young children. Although few foods contain large amounts of iron, potatoes are a very good source. When consumed on a daily basis (5 1/3 oz. average per person), potatoes furnish more iron than any other vegetable. And, whereas not all the iron content in all foods is available for body use, the iron in potatoes is highly usable by the body.
Potatoes provide good nutrition for the money. In fact, potatoes are one of the best sources of Vitamin C, vitamin B6, magnesium, folacin (folic acid), copper, potassium
