It's time to eat healthy at home and create some interesting dishes using U.S. Potato! ❤
When it comes to choosing healthy carb as one of the cooking ingredients, my favourite would definitely go to the mighty U.S. Potato. Do you know that the U.S. Potatoes are one of the most versatile vegetables for any occasion, power-packed with nutritional benefits and are easy-to-prepare be it baked, steamed, boiled, fried or grilled?
Do you know that one medium size U.S. Potato contains the following?
❤ Only 110 calories per serving! Low-calorie yet more energy-packed than any other popular vegetables.
