Do potatoes count as a portion of vegetables?by Kate
On your page about five a day you say: "Potatoes never count towards your daily vegetable servings, in any form" Why do you think so? I understand if it's in the form of chips or something like that, but I eat a locavore diet and right now the only vegetables I eat are potatoes (organic, from our garden from last year), with a bit of green onions, frozen tomatoes and frozen beets. I eat my potatoes only with unrefined sea salt, either baked or grated and cooked into hashbrowns. Are you saying that potatoes are void of nutrition? Thanks, Kate
