Potatoes – Boring but Necessary
December 31st, 2009 § 1 Comment
How often do we dream of eating a potato. Hardly ever, unless you grew up in Ireland, are extremely hungover, or have a Mom nice enough to cook them up in style. As a result, potatoes are not the most popular food. THEY SHOULD BE.
Running this food through the Cave Chow gauntlet give it 12 stars.
NUTRITIOUS – 4 stars.
- Excellent source of Vitamin C (yes, 45% of your daily value)
- Great source of potassium (18% of your DV)
- Potato skins fiber content rival that of hearty grains
- Extreme source of carbs (for when you need lasting energy)
- Protects against colon cancer, improves glucose tolerance, and more
AFFORDABLE – 5 stars.
- Yes, Yes, Yes. A 5lb bag for $1.99. Are you kidding me?
- Price per Pound – less than 50 cents. Crazy good deal.
SIMPLE – 3 stars.
- Unless you really live in a cave, you’ll want to cook these
- Frying, Baking, Boiling, Nuking, and spicing them up all take a bit of time. Cook a lot and freeze the rest.
The extreme affordability of this food would have made it Cave Chow Approved even if they took 4 hours to cook. And if you’re and athlete, it’s excellent fuel for you. Plus, if you take a little time in the kitchen, these can be absolutely delicious.
