Big negative (or maybe positive) of potatoes is that they’re 300 cal/lb, so you’d need to purchase/harvest/store/eat like 7lb/day/person

- vincnetas 2y ago"dried/flaked potatoes" will solve this
- wiether 2y agoBut then you loose a lot of nutrients
- ycombinatrix 2y agoHow does it lose nutrients? It is still potato
- Cthulhu_ 2y agoWhich ones? Drying only removes the water content, what else is lost when drying foods?
- Scoundreller 2y agoProbably Vitamin C Industrial food drying is usually done fast (ie: high heat). Vacuum/freeze drying might retain more nutrients but it’s a more $$$ process.
- Scoundreller 2y agoWould probably add the water soluble vitamins (B and C) and minerals might evaporate away too (Before was just mentioning the C getting destroyed).
