Food 14: Potato – The Humble Iodine Source

Potato - The Humble Iodine Source
Advertisements

Next up is a humble, everyday food item – the potato. You might be surprised to find this common staple on our list, but potatoes, particularly the skin, are a good source of iodine.

One medium-sized baked potato, with the skin, can provide about 60 mcg of iodine, which is 40% of the daily recommended intake. This makes the often-underestimated potato a worthy contender for iodine-rich foods.

Potatoes also offer a host of other nutrients, including vitamin C, vitamin B6, and potassium. They’re also naturally gluten-free, making them a good choice for those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.(14)
