When it comes to US potatoes,
Malaysians will not have to compromise taste for any health reasons. A healthy,
balanced meal can be just as tasteful. Baked, mashed, roasted or fried, US
potatoes have a remarkable ability to enhance whatever dish is served with
them, enhancing presentation, adding value and appetite appeal. A growing pool
of research confirms that potatoes play a positive role in healthy diet.
Research published in the Journal of
the American College of Nutrition demonstrates that people can eat
potatoes and still lose weight.
