The answer is FALSE!
⠀
I don’t know where this myth came from, but both kinds of potatoes are equally nutritious, and in fact sweet potatoes contains MORE sugar than white potatoes.
⠀
Sweet potatoes contain more vitamin A, and white potatoes contain lots of potassium – you want both, so just alternate between the 2 varieties ☺️
⠀
Remember, getting a variety of different colours and foods on your plate as often as possible exposes you to a wider variety of nutrients & antioxidants.
⠀
This helps create a diverse army of good bacteria – remember these lot will help your immune system (and pretty much every other system) in doing their job!
⠀
To get the most out of potatoes in a healthy way, boil, steam, roast, bake and slow cook.
⠀
Deep frying and coating in weird chemical ridden ingredients is going to compromise the nutrient content & absorption of these guys.
