TO PEEL OR NOT TO PEEL POTATOES

There is often confusion over whether or not to peel potatoes before cooking.  Researchers at Cornell University found that contrary to popular opinion, you do not lose vitamin C by peeling potatoes.  These same researchers found that with or without the skin, a 7-ounce baked potato has about 30 mg of vitamin C.

Note: The 30 mg of vitamin C is for a plain 7-ounce baked potato.
