Potatoes contain an RS2 resistant starch that cannot be digested by the body and therefore does not cause an increase in blood sugar. During the cooking process of potatoes, RS2 will be lost, but after cooling, new resistant starch will be formed. Therefore, potatoes are suitable for cooling before consumption. At the same time, low-temperature storage will cause starch to decompose into small molecule sugars, while storing at 20 ℃ in a dark environment can maximize the retention of starch content. Potato tubers contain a variety of vitamins and inorganic salts. The benefits of consuming potatoes for health and the role of vitamins are inseparable. Especially vitamin C can prevent scurvy, stimulate hematopoietic function, etc., which is not found in daily rice and white flour, while potatoes can provide a large amount of vitamin C.
