With the beginning of summer, one of our favorite vegetables on the market appears - fresh potatoes. Apart from being very tasty, they are also extremely useful, and their processing is quick and easy. And most importantly, you do not need to bleach them when cooking. On the contrary.
Probably every one of you has heard that potato flakes are useful. However, few know why and which exactly. The shell of real fresh potatoes contains real nutrients.
The skins of a medium-sized potato provide half of the recommended daily allowances of soluble fiber, potassium, iron, phosphorus, zinc and vitamin C. Therefore, it is recommended to bake, boil and puree unpeeled.
Experts recommend that when baking or cooking fresh potatoes, do not peel. The peel of fresh potatoes is very thin and delicate. Therefore, to prepare them, it is enough to wash them thoroughly.

Keep in mind, however, that the rule not to peel potatoes applies only to young people. In old potatoes, it is in the peel that the content of solanine, a glycoalkaloid, accumulates over time.
In increased quantities, it affects the mucous membrane of the digestive tract. To prevent this, we must necessarily peel the old potatoes before eating.
The already peeled potato peels find an interesting application. To darken your gray hair, boil potato peels in water for half an hour.
