Micro-nutrient content of food commodities varies. Higher nutrient content of a food item in itself does not necessary mean that a higher bioavailabilty. Some potato potato varieties nutreint-dense or biofortified. I would be grateful if studies on bioavailability of different crops in comparison with potato. Please share relevant materials.
Potatos do not have as much compared to most vegetables. The same happens with rice. Potato is just starch. This is why, we need most vegetables,even though the content is high in just one of them.
@ Kouadri Mohamed El Amine, Thank you for providing the document with micro-nutrient content of vegetables. However, I am looking for information on what proportion of these are bioavailable, available for uptake after consumption. I am working with nutrient-dense and biofortied potato clones and varieties and this information would be useful. Many thanks for you keen interest in my questions.
@ Mª Angeles Zorrilla Lopez-Perea, Thank you for you kind response. However, I am looking for information on what proportion of the micronutrient are content in biofortied potato and vegetables are bioavailable, that is, available for uptake after consumption. Thanks alot.
