'The United Nations have officially declared the year 2008 the International Year of the Potato in order to “increase awareness of the importance of the potato as a food in developing nations”
Take a look at this five facts about potatoes:
- a potato has only between 70 to 100 calories
- a potato is about 80 % water- a potato has potassium, vitamin C, iron, and fiber, protein, carbohydrates, calcium, and magnesium
- the potato was the first vegetable to be grown in space in 1995
- There are about 5,000 potato varieties in the world
