Potato

Potatoes were a life-saving food source in early times because the vitamin C prevented scurvy. Another major nutrient in potatoes is potassium, an electrolyte which aids in the workings of our heart, muscles, and nervous system.

Boiled potatoes are often considered healthier due to their lower calorie content When boiled, potatoes retain most of their vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin C, B6, and potassium, essential for various bodily functions. Boiling also increases the potato’s resistant starch content.
