Nutrition Tips
Potatoes are rich sources of complex carbohydrates, proteins and fibre, they also contain vitamin B complex, vitamin C, iron, potassium and polyphenols. Complex carbohydrates in potatoes can provide energy for children’s needs; and dietary fibre can stimulate satiety, minimizing the possibility of over-eating in children. If sprouting or color change (green color) is present on the potatoes, DO NOT eat them, as these changes imply that there are toxins called “alkaloids” present in the potatoes. This type of substance is toxic, and may lead to discomfort of gastrointestinal tract, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach cramps, etc. In serious conditions, alkaloids might even affect the central nervous system, leading to paralysis. Nevertheless, food technologies such as “irradiation” inhibits the sprouting in potatoes, and most potatoes have gone through the irradiation process before being sold on the market, thus the chance of leading to toxicity is low.
