Did you know that potatoes are a complete protein?  Yes you heard that right. They have all the essential amino acids in the right proportions to be called a “complete protein.”  Are you surprised?   We were too when we first starting learning the science behind healthy eating.  Turns out there are a lot of myths out there.  So take the time to educate yourself and your family about food and nutrition. You’ll be so much healthier for it.
