Fried potatoes can be more beneficial than cooked, says study

Have you ever imagined that potato chips could be a healthier option than the cooked version? For this was precisely what a study of the University of Granada in Spain showed. Scientists have shown that fried vegetables are more beneficial than cooked, as long as the preparation is done with extra virgin olive oil.

The discovery came during studies on the Mediterranean Diet, rich in fresh vegetables and extra virgin olive oil. Most of these raw vegetables are rich in phenols, powerful antioxidants that help with weight loss, so researchers looked to find out if these substances were lost during some cooking process.

They then tested some ways of cooking: fry in the extra virgin olive oil, cook in water, cook in water with oil and sauté. The findings showed that when cooked, foods have little variation in the loss of phenols. However, when vegetables are fried with extra virgin olive oil, another component rich in phenols, the compounds are absorbed by the food, increasing the amount of phenols consumed.

It is worth noting that the amount of calories and fat also increases during this preparation , however, the researchers want to show that not all frying is bad, because the antioxidant potential of the substances present in food has been preserved. The researchers also point out that the foods used were all fresh, and that the potatoes fried in the extra virgin olive oil proved to be more beneficial in the fight against diseases such as cancer, diabetes and other degenerative diseases. benefits do not apply to frozen and industrialized potatoes, for example.
