Baked potatoes are also a good way to eat. Because no other food ingredients are introduced, only some water is lost, so the calories of baked potatoes are also relatively low. Based on different baking conditions, the calories per 100 grams of baked potatoes are between 80 and 90 and more than 100 kilocalories, which is also considered as low-calorie food. For modern people, there is another convenient way to eat. Wrap potatoes in plastic wrap and heat them in microwave oven, which can be close to the effect of boiling potatoes.

Potatoes contain more vitamin C, which is at least twice as high as tomatoes, pineapples, grapes, plums, bananas, peaches, apples, lettuce and eggplant. However, long-term baking and heating will destroy vitamin C. In this sense, our traditional fried potato shreds is a fast cooking process, which does less damage to vitamins.

100g of raw potato contains about15g of starch, about 2g of protein, and some fibers, and the other 75% is water. After frying, potato chips will lose a lot of water and absorb some oil. Because there is more water loss and less adsorbed oil, the same weight of French fries actually corresponds to more raw potatoes. The heat of oil is very high, up to 9 kilocalories per gram, so the heat per unit weight of fried French fries will increase considerably. Generally speaking, most foreign fast food chips contain 300-400 kilocalories per100g, and thin potato chips can reach 500 kilocalories. Of course, this kind of heat is really high. But it's not that French fries become poison or garbage, it's just a recombination of food ingredients. When we lambaste French fries as rubbish, we should actually remind ourselves that traditional foods such as fried dough sticks and twisted dough sticks that we are proud of are the same.
