First cultivated in the Andes mountains, potatoes were brought to Europe by Spanish explorers. Believed to have been poisonous due to its relation to the nightshade family, potatoes are know an internationally cultivated tuber with exceptional nutritional benefits. Packed with vitamin C, B6, magnesium, and potassium, potatoes also contain alpha-lipoic acid (a compound that helps convert glucose into energy), carotenoids, flavonoids, and caffeic acid, as well as unique tuber storage proteins, such as patatin, which exhibit activity against free radicals.
