world's fourth-largest source of carbs after wheat,
rice and corn. In addition to the carbohydrate, potato also
contains amino acids, and some vitamins, such
as vitamin a, vitamin b, vitamin c. vitamin c on
potatoes may be insufficient half body needs per
day for adults and
higher compared to rice and wheat. The content
of amino acid in the potato as well balanced, so it is very good for health (kusmana and basuki 2004 in
helmi and tarkus 2014). Low sugar content compared to rice made the potato is

explain that potato peel contain a lot of fiber, pottasium, vitamin c. Fiber offers several health advantages. Fiber keeps
us feeling full longer, helping us to maintain or reduce weight. It also lowers
blood cholesterol levels to reduce the risk of heart disease and promotes a
healthy digestive tract. Potatoes contain 2 g fiber, the majority of which can
be found in the peel. Adults should try to consume 14 g fiber per 1,000
calories. Eating one medium potato with the peel provides 8 percent of the
recommended daily intake. Potatoes,
including the peel, are an excellent source of potassium, one of the essential
minerals. The body needs potassium to support the normal function of all cells,
muscles and organs. Potassium helps to keep the fluid inside and outside of
cells balanced, transmits nerve signals to aid in muscle contractions and helps
the heart beat rhythmically. Because potatoes grow underground, the peel
absorbs many minerals, such as potassium, from the soil. One potato provides
620 mg potassium, a significant contribution toward the 4,700 mg daily intake
recommended. In addition to
minerals, potatoes and potato peels also provide essential vitamins. One potato
eaten with the peel provides 45 percent of the recommended daily value of
vitamin C. The human body requires vitamin C to support a healthy immune
system, for the production of collagen needed to build connective tissues and
bones and to protect cells against damage caused by harmful atoms produced as a
result of chemical reactions in the body.
