Potatoes are the most popular vegetable.
Some people cannot imagine their diet without adding this root vegetable to it.
Dishes made from it always turn out filling and tasty.
But not everyone knows that you can’t overdo it with potatoes.
It's all about the high starch content.
A safe daily allowance at home is one or two potatoes. But it should be taken into account that if there are other sources of carbohydrates in the diet, it is better to refuse potatoes.
This statement was made by nutritionist Natalia Dinullina, reports Rossiyskaya Gazeta .
The specialist added that potatoes are not included in the recommended intake of vegetables and fruits due to the abundance of starch, which is converted into glucose in the body.
If you want to treat yourself to potatoes, you need to choose the right cooking method. For example, you can boil the fruit in its skin, cool it and add a small amount to a vegetable salad.
