Wang Linpeng, a national famous old Chinese medicine doctor, came to the program of Health Center and took us to explore the staple food of health in Shanxi, among which potatoes are the most common.
With potatoes, Shanxi people can cook a table of rice, both staple food and vegetables. What nutrition does that potato have? How to eat?
Potatoes are rich in nutrition.
1 rich in vitamin C.
Potatoes contain more vitamins in all food crops, which is twice that of carrots, three times that of Chinese cabbage, four times that of tomatoes and four times that of apples.
It contains 10 times as much vitamin C as apple!
The content of vitamin C in potatoes is higher than that in lemons.
Lemon 22 mg/ 100 g.
Potato 3022 mg/ 100 g.
Vitamin c is easily destroyed by heating.
But eating cold food in winter is afraid of diarrhea.
But the starch in potatoes can protect vitamin C.
Reduce the damage during heating.
2 Low calorie
100g of rice calories =167g of potato calories.
Potatoes have fewer calories than rice.
It is suggested that some rice be replaced by potatoes.
3 pressure control
The potassium content in potatoes is 16 times that of rice.
Helps control pressure and protect blood vessels.
4 skin care
Potatoes can also be used externally. The gum rich in potatoes can alleviate skin injuries such as eczema, burns and abrasions, and reduce skin pressure.
Many people eat potatoes by mistake.
We advocate using potatoes instead of staple food, which helps to control sugar.
The glycemic index of ordinary rice is 83.
Belonging to high-sugar food
The glycemic index of cooked potatoes is 66.
It belongs to the medium glycemic index.
But careful friends should find that the sugar index actually rose to 73 after potatoes were made into mashed potatoes.
Experts suggest that cooked potatoes can replace staple food, but don't make mashed potatoes!
Potato and it are good partners.

Shanxi people will add "staple food companion"-Shanxi mature vinegar when cooking potatoes, which is a good helper to help digestion.
