U.S. Potatoes Celebrate World Nutrition Day “Fuel For The Future”

Happy World Nutrition Day everyone! Celebrated on May 28, this year's theme for World Nutrition Day is “Fuel For The Future” which encourages us to learn about making informed food choices and developing healthful eating and physical activity habits.

I choose U.S. potatoes as my family's staple food because it is a nutritious food ingredient to incorporate into every meal. U.S. potatoes are great for sustainable living and providing us the nutrients and energy for our everyday daily routines and performance.

Do you know that one medium U.S. Potato provides about 110 calories of easy-to-digest calories, and it has zero cholesterol, zero sodium and zero fat! It also contains 26 grams of carbohydrates (9% daily value) to fuel one’s muscles and brain. While the Carbohydrates in it provides energy to sustain our energy levels and keep our day going.

U.S. Potatoes are also rich in Vitamin C (30% daily value) which makes healthier meals and play a key role in supporting the body’s immune system and Vitamin B6, with one medium potato providing 10% of the recommended daily value. Vitamin B6 is important for proper cell function and helps with metabolism.

U.S. Potatoes have 3 grams of plant-based protein per serving. Protein is the building block for growth and a key component of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues.

In conjunction with this day, U.S. Potatoes has invited Chef Jason Manson to curate 4 special recipes infused with nutritious U.S. Potatoes. Check them out below:
