proteins, essential amino acid, B vitamins (thiamin, niacin, and B6 vitamins),
c vitamins and minerals. The high content of carbohydrates causes potato

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

Livestrong foundation 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.
