On a more unanimous note, experts are convinced of the plants’nutrition and various vitamins and minerals.

Compared with rice and corn, potatoes' calories and fat content are lower than the other two, while dietary fiber and protein are not as rich. For the mineral comparison with carrots and tomatoes, potatoes fare quite well, in Vitamin B and Vitamin C, but they lack Vitamin E.

Business people felt there was an opportunity to make money out of potatoes by thinking outside the box and coming up with new forms.

Niu Jin yuan from Qin yuanchun group in Gansu province says his company is developing products mixed with potato starch and wheat flour.

Niu also says the product is expected to reach supermarkets within one year. He says there's no rush to promote the new mixed flour, before letting consumers know the product well. It can take time for people to get used to new types of products, but it could become popular among future generations.
