THE POTATO IS HEALTHY!
HEALTHY because they are rich in fibre and vitamins C and B6, they contain fewer calories than pasta and rice and the carbohydrates in potatoes are “slow”; The fibres in potatoes contribute to a good bowel function, promote a healthy weight and they have a favourable effect on your cholesterol.
In addition to the vitamins B6 and C, potatoes are also a good natural source of essential minerals, like Potassium and Iron. What’s more, potatoes are VEGAN, pure, natural and of vegetable origin. In other words, totally “Hip and Happening”!
