The Super Tuber
Published on June 8th, 2009.
Way back, 8000 years ago, the potato has recorded history that it was first discovered from high up in the Andres mountains of Western South America. Today, there are dazzling arrays of impressive facts about the unpretentious potato that most of us hitherto may not have been aware of. For every 150 g of potato, it has 120 calories, and zero of which is fat! It has no cholesterol, low in sodium, rich in potassium and carbohydrates. It also contains 3 grams of protein. It’s best eaten plain boiled with no additions like salt and butter.
