10 High Protein Vegetables
High Protein Vegetable #7: Potato
Because of the bad reputation associated with potatoes, you probably don’t know that you can get some protein from these starchy vegetables. One medium potato with skin contains 5 grams of protein.
Potatoes also contain high amounts of carbohydrate. This is probably the reason of their poor reputation especially when they are fried to make fries. However, when potatoes are cooked in a more healthy way such as baking, they are a great source of nutrients. Besides protein and carbohydrate, potatoes also contain sugar, fiber, vitamin C, potassium and sodium. Make sure you eat the skins too in order to get most of the nutritional benefits of potato.
