What do you know about potatoes?

Potato, the scientific name of potato, is rustic, but under the skillful hands of China people, it has become countless delicacies: shredded potatoes in vinegar, stewed beef brisket with potatoes and so on. Potatoes so popular with Chinese people are actually not "local kings", but "immigrants" from South America.

After many twists and turns, potatoes have spread all over the world. In France, Britain, the United States and other countries, they are mixed with the position of staple food, and mashed potatoes and baked potatoes are put on the table. In China, although potatoes are frequent visitors on the table, they only sit in the position of a guest. When it comes to potatoes, in our impression, it is a root vegetable at best. In fact, the main identity of potatoes is not vegetables, but staple food!

As early as 2008, potatoes won the honor of "International Year of the Potato" established by FAO. This is the second "Year of Crops" established by the United Nations, and the first is the "International Year of Rice" won by rice in 2004. In response to the international call and the increasing pressure on food, China officially launched the strategy of "potato as the main food" in 2015. The price of potatoes has soared in China, and together with rice, wheat and corn, they have sat on the throne of staple food.

Why can potatoes bear this honor?

"hard-working": drought, cold, heat and other harsh environments can not beat it;

"High yield": Secondly, the planting area of potatoes in China ranks second in the world, with high yield;

"easy to store": potatoes contain high starch content and can be stored for more than ten years in a low temperature and dry environment;

"Rich in nutrition": Potatoes are rich in nutritional value and have the reputation of "second bread" and "perfect food".

Although potatoes have become the staple food, Chinese people are still unfamiliar with its new identity. In particular, it contains a lot of starch, which once pushed it to the forefront of obesity! French fries, potato chips, but also put a fat hat on the head of potatoes. In fact, it is not the potato itself that makes people fat, but improper cooking methods, such as frying, which makes potatoes full of oil, not only makes potato products high in calories, but also loses their original nutritional advantages; It also increases the intake of oil, salt, acrylamide carcinogen and other substances. If you eat it in one bite, it’s all grease. It’s strange if you’re not fat!
