Potato peels instead of the US

 We don't need their stinkin' fresh veggies.  I just got this from googs ai.

Potato peels contain many vitamins and minerals, including: 

• Vitamin C: 8 grams per potato skin, which is 9% of the daily value (DV) 
• Iron: 4 grams per potato skin, which is 23% of the DV 
• Potassium: 332 milligrams per potato skin, which is 7% of the DV 
• Calcium: 20 milligrams per potato skin, which is 2% of the DV 
• Magnesium: 25 milligrams per potato skin, which is 6% of the DV 
• Phosphorus: 59 milligrams per potato skin, which is 5% of the DV 
• Manganese: 0.4 milligrams per potato skin, which is 16% of the DV 
• Zinc: 0.3 milligrams per potato skin, which is 3% of the DV 
• Copper: 0.5 milligrams per potato skin, which is 53% of the DV 
• Riboflavin: A fair source 
• Ascorbic acid: A fair source 
• Folic acid: A fair source 
• Vitamins B6: A fair source 
• Phenolic compounds: A rich source 

Potato peels also contain: 

• About 40-50% dietary fiber 
• About the same amount of protein as the flesh of the potato 
• Around 30-40% of the potato's vitamin B, vitamin C, and potassium 

You can eat potato skins raw or cooked, and you can serve them as an appetizer or finger food. Before eating them, you should wash them to remove any dirt, pesticides, or debris.

All those people in Canada who got scurvy are peeling their potatoes.  Don't do it!  And keep the apple peels on for pie.  Close the borders!

**just saying this because when the ice age (cycle) hits, they'll be begging us for our igloos, or natgas, whatever.

ps. and you don't have to pay for faddish 'prebiotics' like I did.  Makes an old person smarter than a 5th grader.

ps. he's up to Mr. 100%!

ps a friend tells me that vitamins are the highest markup in the store.
