About Half of a potatoe
Half of a potato is a versatile and nutrient-packed food option. Potatoes, originally cultivated in South America, are a staple ingredient in many cuisines worldwide, including American, European, and Asian dishes. Nutritionally, half a medium potato contains roughly 80 calories, 18-20 grams of carbohydrates, and 2 grams of protein. It’s a good source of vitamin C, potassium, and dietary fiber, especially if the skin is kept on. Potatoes are low in fat and cholesterol, making them a heart-healthy choice when prepared without excessive oil or butter. They provide energy from complex carbohydrates and help maintain electrolyte balance due to their potassium content. However, frying or adding heavy toppings like cheese can increase calorie and fat content, which may diminish their nutritional benefits. For a wholesome option, boil, bake, or steam half a potato, and enjoy it with fresh herbs or yogurt-based toppings.
