1, heat
Ordinary medium potato skin contains only 1 10 calories. Potatoes are fat-free, cholesterol-free and sodium-free, making them an excellent supplement to any heart-healthy diet. When baking or cooking, put the potato skin on the potato to prevent the loss of nutrients in the potato meat. When you eat baked potato with skin, it is a healthy dietary supplement. If you fry potato skins, and then add cheese and bacon to the potato skins, plus saturated fat and trans fat, both of which help to raise the cholesterol level in the blood, then healthy potato skins will become a choice rich in calories and fat.
2. fiber
Vegetables, including potatoes, contain fiber, which is the part of plants that cannot be decomposed by enzymes in the human body. Fiber has many benefits to health. Fiber can make you feel full for a longer time and help you maintain or lose weight. It can also lower blood cholesterol level, reduce the risk of heart disease and promote healthy digestion. A potato contains about 2 grams of fiber, most of which is on the potato skin. Adults should try to consume 14g fiber per 1000 calories. Medium-sized potato skins can provide 8% of the recommended daily intake.
3. Potassium
Potatoes (including potato skins) are a good source of potassium, which is an important mineral. The body needs potassium to support the normal function of all cells, muscles and organs. Potassium helps to maintain fluid balance inside and outside cells, transmit nerve signals, help muscles contract and help the heart beat rhythmically. Because potatoes grow underground, the epidermis absorbs many minerals from the soil, such as potassium. A potato provides about 620 mg of potassium, which makes an important contribution to the recommended daily intake of 4700 mg.
4, vitamin C.
Besides minerals, potatoes and potato skins can also provide essential vitamins. Potatoes eaten with skins provide 45% of the recommended daily value of vitamin C. The human body needs vitamin C to support a healthy immune system, produce collagen needed to build connective tissues and bones, and protect cells from harmful atoms caused by chemical reactions.
