Surprisingly, one medium sized potato (150g) contains approximately

8O per cent of the daily requirement of Vitamin C, a powerful

antioxidant that stabilises free radicals and improves the body's

capacity to absorb iron.

Potatoes also contain almost half the recommended daily intake of

vitamin B6, which is vital in the regulation of the metabolism and

conversion of foods to energy.

Potatoes are an excellent natural source of potassium, which is great

for cardiovascular health and also helps the body to retain calcium.
