Best time: Anytime - a versatile side dish, also good cold in salads
Benefits
- ✓One of the lowest-fat sources of complex carbohydrates - practically 0g fat per serving
- ✓Excellent source of potassium (more than a banana at the same weight) and vitamin C
- ✓Boiling preserves potassium and B-complex vitamins better than frying or prolonged baking
- ✓Very high satiety index compared to other carbohydrate sources, useful in weight-loss diets
Considerations
- !Boiling with the skin on preserves more nutrients than boiling peeled potatoes - some vitamins are lost into the water
- !High glycemic index (especially when eaten hot) - combine with protein or healthy fats for a slower glycemic response
- !Cooled before eating, boiled potatoes form resistant starch, with a lower glycemic impact
FitAzi Tip
FitAzi recommends boiling potatoes with the skin on to preserve maximum nutrients, and cooling them for a few hours before eating (for example in a salad) to increase resistant starch content, which feeds beneficial gut bacteria and has a lower glycemic impact than hot boiled potato.
Frequently Asked Questions
Un cartof fiert mediu (aproximativ 150g) are 131 kcal, cu 2,6g proteine, 30g carbohidrați, 0,2g grăsimi și 2,7g fibre. Fierberea este una dintre metodele de preparare cu cel mai mic adaos caloric, deoarece nu necesită ulei sau grăsime, spre deosebire de prăjire sau cuptor cu unt.
Sunt foarte apropiați - cartoful fiert are 87 kcal/100g, iar cel copt la cuptor (fără adaosuri) are aproximativ 93 kcal/100g, diferența fiind nesemnificativă. Diferențele mari de calorii apar abia atunci când adaugi unt, ulei sau smântână peste cartoful copt sau fiert, nu din metoda de gătire în sine.
