Many retailers sell potato flour as a health
food, most likely because it derives directly from the whole potato and is
usually much more nutritious than processed wheat flour. Health experts are
often quick to point out that potatoes are carbohydrates, however. The body is
usually able to break them down into sugar relatively quickly, making them good
for quick bursts of energy but not as useful when it comes to sustained
nutrition.
Just the same, the flour does have many
redeeming qualities. It is high in many vitamins, for instance, including
vitamin C and vitamin B6; it is also a good source of potassium, calcium, and
dietary fiber, and contains some protein, as well.
