Raw potatoes are starchy tubers originating from South America, where they have been a dietary staple for thousands of years. They are rich in carbohydrates, primarily in the form of starch, making them an excellent source of energy. Raw potatoes also contain fiber, Vitamin C, potassium, and small amounts of B vitamins, magnesium, and iron, contributing to heart health, immune function, and balanced electrolytes. However, they also contain antinutrients such as solanine, especially in green or sprouted areas, which can be toxic in large quantities. Consuming raw potatoes is less common than their cooked counterparts due to a harder texture and potential digestive discomfort. While generally considered safe in moderation, cooking potatoes improves digestibility and reduces solanine. Found in cuisines worldwide, raw potatoes are typically used in recipes like salads or as a base for raw food enthusiasts' dishes, but caution is advised to ensure optimal health benefits.
