Celebrate World Nutrition Day “Fuel For The Future” with U.S. Potatoes!
Nutrition is what fuels us up for the better things in life. Did you know then that World Nutrition Day, celebrated on May 28 this year is themed “Fuel For The Future”, an apt theme especially coupled with my favourite U.S. Potatoes!
“Fuel For The Future” encourages us to learn about making informed food choices and developing healthful eating and physical activity habits. A staple food which goes so well with many different cooking styles, U.S. Potatoes not only tastes great, it is really nutritious, infused with ingredients needed to give us the energy to power up in our everyday life and chores.
Containing 26 grams of carbohydrates per medium potato, this provides up to 9% of your daily needs. I feel strong already just knowing this fact about U.S Potatoes! Bye bye lethargic me, hello peak energy both mind and body!
Healthier meals made better with U.S. Potatoes as its also rich in Vitamin C helping to support our body’s immune system. It’s also rich in Vitamin B6 (a medium potato provides 10% of the recommended daily value), helping with metabolism and proper cell functions.
Containing 3 grams of plant based protein per serving, we all know protein is the building block for growth so that’s definitely a good thing!
Oh, don’t forget potassiums! That’s the key takeaway, where potassium contained inside U.S Potatoes can help in regulating fluids and mineral balance, as well as maintaining normal blood pressure.
This World Nutrition Day, the good folks from U.S. Potatoes invited Chef Jason Manson to curate four special and healthy recipes which makes use of the ever nutritious U.S. Potatoes. Check out the recipes below:
