Everyone knows that French fries and potato chips are high in calories. So how high is it? Put it this way: three bites of potato chips and one bite of oil.
In 100 grams of potato chips, the fat content is 35%. That is to say, there are 35 grams of fat per 100 grams of potato chips, and one bite of pure fat after eating three bites of potato chips.
The fat content in French fries is also 15%. If you think of fat as pure oil, when you eat 135 grams of large French fries, it is equivalent to eating 20 grams of oil, which is close to 4 scoops of ordinary spoons.
There are also those unstoppable dry-pot potato chips, dried potato shreds, and spike potatoes, all of which are super oil-absorbing dishes.
Those who have cooked dried potato shreds should know that no matter how much oil is added, they can be absorbed cleanly by the potatoes, and there will not be a drop in the pot.
This kind of dish has higher calories than an equivalent portion of rice. Tasty is really delicious, can’t stop at all, fat is really fat too.
So potatoes will be beaten into the cold palace? Wait a minute!
The potatoes are right you ate, it’s very healthy actually.
In fact, the fat content of potatoes itself is very low, only 0.2%, but the method of frying is not suitable for it.
Because the water content of potatoes is 79%, the water in the potatoes evaporates during the frying and heating process, and only oil molecules can enter to fill the gaps.
Therefore, in the process of high-temperature frying, potatoes will absorb a lot of fat, and the thinner the potato slices, the more fully the contact with the fat, the higher the fat content.
Not only that, potatoes are also a very high-quality source of carbon water, and it has a strong feeling of fullness.
A study on food satiety found that boiled potatoes have a super strong satiety, 7 times that of croissants.
Studies have also found that when subjects were given rice, pasta, or potatoes, potatoes had the strongest feeling of fullness, and those who ate potatoes also consumed fewer calories.
If you are worrying about your figure recently, you might as well try to replace staple foods such as rice and noodles with steamed potatoes, so you can lose weight without being hungry.
Compared with other staple foods, it is also rich in other nutrients.
Potatoes contain a variety of B vitamins and rich vitamin C. The vitamin C obtained from eating a medium-sized (about 200 grams) potato is equivalent to eating 8 apples.
There are 347 mg of potassium in every 100 grams of potatoes, which meets 17.1% of the daily requirement, which is even better than the “potassium supplement” banana.
Substituting potatoes for some staple foods and increasing the intake of potassium are of great benefit to blood pressure control.
Therefore, as long as cooking with less oil, potatoes are a very healthy staple food undoubtedly.
