About cooked potato

Where it comes from

A batata (Solanum tuberosum L.) é nativa da América do Sul, da Cordilheira dos Andes, tendo sido consumida por populações nativas há mais de 8.000 anos, segundo a Embrapa. Sua introdução na Europa ocorreu por volta de 1570, quando a espécie foi selecionada para tuberização em dias longos. Por volta de 1620, a batata foi levada da Europa para a América do Norte, onde se tornou alimento popular, espalhando-se a partir daí para muitos outros países.

Who eats it, in Brazil

No Brasil, a batata é a hortaliça mais importante em termos econômicos, segundo a Embrapa, com produção anual de cerca de 3,5 milhões de toneladas, envolvendo em torno de 5 mil produtores em 30 regiões de sete estados brasileiros. Pela Pesquisa de Orçamentos Familiares do IBGE, o consumo de batata inglesa também mudou com a renda: junto com alface e tomate, ela apresentou redução na frequência de consumo em todas as faixas de renda entre as duas edições da pesquisa.

What it is for in the diet

Segundo a Embrapa, a batata é um alimento basicamente energético, mas também rico em proteínas e importante fonte de sais minerais. Apesar da crença popular de que a batata só contém carboidratos, seus tubérculos contêm proteínas de alta qualidade, além de quantidade considerável de vitaminas e sais minerais, essenciais para a nutrição humana.

When it is used

A Embrapa orienta o uso da batata conforme a textura do amido de cada cultivar. Cultivares de textura farinácea são indicadas para panificação, massas e frituras, pois quando cozidas ficam secas e se desagregam com facilidade, enquanto as cultivares cerosas, após o cozimento, ficam com aspecto pastoso e úmido e são recomendadas para saladas e produtos cremosos.

A detail almost nobody tells

Um dado pouco conhecido: segundo o IBGE, entre quase todas as verduras, legumes e frutas pesquisados na POF 2017-2018, a batata inglesa foi a única exceção à regra de que homens relatam consumir esses alimentos com menor frequência do que as mulheres. Outro dado da Embrapa: o teor de proteínas da batata é duas vezes superior ao da mandioca.

How to read this data

The composition reference gives amounts per 100 g of the edible part, in the form of the food indicated by its name. A raw version is not equivalent to the same mass already cooked: water, preparation, salt, oil and fillings can change the results.

A zero value in the catalog does not guarantee absolute absence of the nutrient. Darwin's numbers are a reference reading and do not replace the product packaging or an individual nutritional assessment.
