Potato is a nutritious vegetable that is packed with carbohydrates, dietary fiber, potassium, vitamin C
and is great for energy because it contains high level of complex carbs. Complex carbs take longer to break
down into glucose, resulting in energy that last longer and steadier. A 5 ounce potato has about half the
protein of an egg and about the same amount of vitamin C as half a cup of tomato juice. It also has 7 times
the iron, 8 times the niacin and the same amount of thiamine as 1 cup of milk.
