The potato is an edible tuber native to the mountainous regions of the Andes in South America. Today, the potato is an international staple food, occupying no less than the position of the fourth most widely distributed food crop in the world.

This tuber is composed of 80% water. Its texture is soft and its color can vary between white, brown, yellowish and pinkish tones.

The white potato is light in color, almost white, and has a porous texture. This food has multiple vitamins such as B6 and C, which help prevent heart attacks and eliminate flu and cold viruses. It also contains iron, which is an adjuvant in the production of white and red blood cells.
