Answer:
Potatoes make up 30% of the vegetables the average U.S. adult eats in a year. Their skin makes them rich in fiber, they're low in calories, and they have important nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and vitamin B6. They're also chock full of starch, which is a carbohydrate.
Rice is primarily composed of carbohydrate, which makes up almost 80% of its total dry weight. Most of the carbohydrate in rice is starch. Starch is the most common form of carbohydrate in foods. Starch is made up of long chains of glucose called amylose and amylopectin.
