POTATOES
One serving-a 5.3 ounce, medium potato-provides:
*45 percent of the Daily Value for Vitamin C
*21 percent of the Daily Value for Potassium
*Three grams of fiber
*Only 100 calories
A potato is made up of 80% water. Potatoes are a fat-free food and are high in potassium. Just one tablespoon of butter will double the calories in a medium-sized potato. Potatoes need to be stored at 45-50 degrees F and in an area that is not wet. Potatoes should not be refrigerated, as this can affect the taste and texture and color.
