Potato

Potatoes provide fiber, vitamins, and minerals in addition to carbs. They contain a lot of vitamin C, an antioxidant. Because the vitamin C in potatoes warded against scurvy, they were a life-saving food supply in earlier times.

Potassium, an electrolyte that supports the function of our heart, lungs, and nervous system, is another essential vitamin found in potatoes. The fiber in potato skin is crucial for the health of the digestive system. Compounds like flavonoids, carotene, and phenolic acids are abundant in potatoes. It might enhance digestion. Gluten is naturally absent from potatoes.

Asafoetida: 

Asafoetida is used to treat stomach problems and helps those who have gas, bloating, acid reflux, constipation, and other stomach health issues.
