| Potato & Sweet Potato is only fitting that
the world's most important and influential veg.Potato plant is a
leafy vegetable. It has a thick, uneven shaped plant stem (tuber)
that grows underground. This eatable tuber is also called a
potato. Potatoes have a thin skin that is usually red, yellow, or
brown. Inside the potato is pale flesh. Potatoes are an important
food source. They are the most widely cultivated vegetable in the
world. An average-sized potato weighing between 6 and 8 ounces contains less than 100 calories. Potatoes consist of about 80 percent water, 20 percent solid matter, and have a high nutritional value. Starch makes up about 85 percent of this solid mass and the rest is protein. Potatoes also provide vitamins including niacin, riboflavin, thiamin, and vitamin C. They also contain minerals such as calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and sulfur. Just about any recipe that calls for an Irish potato could use the excitement and vibrant color of a sweet potato. Try sweet potato salad, for instance. Or consider marinating thick slices in a savory soy and ginger based potion and grilling-a perfect pairing with pork chops and greens. And with those inevitable aforementioned leftovers, make sweet potato hash browns with eggs the morning after. The sweet potato is a crop plant whose large, starchy, sweet-tasting tuberous roots are an important root vegetable. The young leaves and shoots are sometimes eaten as greens. The sweet potato is only distantly related to the potato.Sweet potatoes are rich in dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. In some tropical areas, they are a staple food crop. The storage roots, leaves, and shoots are all edible. The storage roots are most frequently boiled, fried, or baked. They can also be processed to make starch and a partial flour substitute. All parts of the plant are used for animal feed. Industrial uses include the production of starch and industrial alcohol. |
