Potato health benefits discovered
Potatoes may be healthier to eat than previously thought, after scientists found them to contain chemicals which lower blood pressure.
The independent Institute of Food Research says the chemicals, called kukoamines, occurred naturally in many common types of potato.
Scientists at the Norwich Institute stumbled upon the chemicals while studying potatoes for other reasons.
They say boiling potatoes may preserve the health benefits better than frying.
