Potatoes Might Not Be Considered a “Vegetable” Soon

Summary
A proposed change to the U.S. Dietary Guidelines could redefine potatoes, currently categorized as vegetables, as they do not count towards the recommended vegetable intake. The move is based on the premise that potatoes, often consumed in forms like fries and chips, primarily contribute starch and insufficient nutrients. This reclassification aims to encourage a more diverse and nutrient-rich diet. While potatoes offer some nutrients, experts suggest their consumption should be moderated due to their high starch content. If implemented, this change could impact how potatoes are perceived in dietary recommendations, potentially influencing consumer choices and agricultural practices.
