About Patates

Potatoes, or "patates," are versatile root vegetables native to South America, originally cultivated by the Inca civilization. Today, they are a staple in cuisines worldwide, featured in dishes like mashed potatoes, fries, stews, and curries. Rich in carbohydrates, they provide a quick energy source and are also packed with essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, especially when consumed with the skin. Potatoes are naturally low in fat and cholesterol, making them a heart-healthy choice when prepared without excessive butter, cream, or frying. They contain antioxidants such as flavonoids and carotenoids, which help support overall health. However, their nutritional benefits can be diminished if heavily processed or served with high-fat toppings. Balanced preparation methods, such as baking or roasting, can help maximize their health value while preserving their delicious flavor and texture.
