What else can be done with Potato!!

-





It's been a while my people! I missed you! Thank you for coming home!! Yeah! 

One major food that's always available is Potato! What is Potato? Why is it even called potato? 

The word potato comes from batata, the Taino (a Caribbean language) word for sweet potato. The Spanish called it patata and that morphed into potato in English.

Potatoes are edible tubers, available worldwide and all year long. They are relatively cheap to grow, rich in nutrients, and they can make a delicious treat.

And yes, we have the Irish Potato and the Sweet Potato. Which one do you like? 

Most people love the sweet potato more because it's sweet. Bhet, it's as though rich and posh people love Irish potato. 

Both have their benefits. 

Sweet and regular potatoes are both tuberous root vegetables, but they differ in appearance and taste.

They come from separate plant families, offer different nutrients, and affect your blood sugar differently.

Sweet and regular potatoes are both considered root vegetables but are only distantly related.

Sweet potatoes are from the morning glory family, Convolvulaceae, and white potatoes are nightshades, or Solanaceae. The edible part of these plants are the tubers that grow on the roots.

Sweet potatoes typically have brown skin and orange flesh but also come in purple, yellow, and red varieties. Regular potatoes come in shades of brown, yellow, and red and have white or yellow flesh.




Both types of potatoes are rich in fiber, carbs, and vitamins B6 and C. White potatoes are higher in potassium, whereas sweet potatoes contain more vitamin A.

Now let's get to todays big deal!
