Now, to explain it in lay terms, I'd say sort of congealed.

Those starches all come together and then the enzymes cannot reach the starch to break it down.

So that starch passes through your gastrointestinal tract undigested.

So you are eating the potato, but a portion of it is not being digested.

It's passing through your digestive tract undigested, but it is a fuel for the bacteria in your gut.

So it contributes to health.

it generates something called a kind of short-chain fatty acid, which again is good for you.

Right.

So the whole, the fibre content of the potato increases.

When you add a little bit of fat, when you add some vinegar...

These are things that help to lower the glycemic, the blood glucose response.

I would add olive oil.

I would not really add butter because olive oil is a good fat.

But it's fine to eat French fries, but in small portions.

It cannot be that you're eating French fries every day.

So indulge on occasion.

Moderation is the key.

No, the dietary fibre of the skin contributes to the overall dietary fibre content of the potato.

But potatoes have a high in vitamin C.

They have high potassium in magnesium, in vitamin B6.
