Quick Facts

The main nutrient in potatoes, as in cereals, is the storage-carbohydrate starch. The potato is also a source of good-quality protein and energy. It contains vitamins and minerals such as calcium, potassium, and phosphorus, and its value within the human diet is often underestimated or ignored, particularly as a source of vitamin C.
