Savory Baked Potato Nutritional Highlights
(The Stuff That Fuels Your Body!)
Potato
- Potatoes, especially when the skin is left on and consumed, are a great source of Vitamin C and potassium, which help to increase immune function and help you maintain a healthy heart.
Butter
- This dairy product is high and fat and should be enjoyed in moderation, but research suggests that it consuming small amounts daily may be good for promoting heart health.
Sour Cream
- Since sour cream is consumed in small servings, it can easily be a part of a healthy diet. This dairy product contains small amounts of protein and fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K, which help support a variety of different functions throughout the body.
Chives
- A close relative to the onion, chives are rich in Vitamin C and Potassium. These help to increase immune function, digestion and help maintain a healthy heart.
Cheddar Cheese
- Like most cheeses, Cheddar is high in protein, which helps our bodies build muscle. It's also high in Vitamin A and Calcium, which helps build strong bones.
