Red or yellow potatoes?

Question

which ones are healthier?

Answer 1

Good answer by Hollywood!  I prefer Sweet Red Potatoes, they are healthy! :) Also known as Yams, but they are only distantly related to yams and potatoes! And they are also very versatile!

Answer 2

Red in my opinion are healthier but they both turns to fat once digested (was what an artical in the news said) In my opion the fat in poatoes is good fat

Answer 3

Depends what you mean by 'healthier'. If you mean ''which one has more nutritional value?'', then red potatoes are the better option.

Red potatoes are versatile & tasty but have a range of nutrients such as potassium, iron & beta carotene. Yellow potatoes lack beta carotene.

(Beta carotene is an antioxidant nutrient that is converted to vitamin A in the body. Beta carotene is responsible for the orangey red colour of red potatoes)

[edit] Potatoes are not high in fat. It depends how you cook them. If you fry them, they will be high in fat. If you boil them they will be low fat :)
