About One medium size russet potato baked
A baked medium-sized Russet potato is a versatile and nutrient-rich whole food with origins traced to the Andean region of South America. Prized in cuisines worldwide, this starchy root vegetable is simple to prepare and brimming with essential nutrients. When baked, a single Russet potato provides approximately 168 calories, 37 grams of carbohydrates, 4 grams of protein, and zero fat, making it an excellent source of energy. It is naturally rich in potassium, vitamin C, and dietary fiber, supporting heart health, digestion, and immune function. Additionally, Russet potatoes are low in sodium and free of cholesterol.
