The humble potato has long been a mainstay of the diet, and actually, they aren’t really humble at all. Potatoes are rich in potassium and contain the blood-pressure-lowering ingredient kukoamines.
They are also packed with minerals and vitamins including Vitamin C, B1, B6, B3, as well as magnesium, iron, phosphorous and zinc, carotenoids and natural phenols. All of which are not only good for keeping blood pressure low, but are great for overall health.
Potatoes are best served without frying them or adding butter or sour cream. They are excellent boiled and served as a side-dish or in salads.
