Eating potato can be very good for your body. Checkout five other important reasons you must eat potato today.

Potatoes are one of the most common and enjoyed vegetables in the
world. Aside eating, potatoes can be used for many other things you
might not have guessed was possible. Jumia Travel, the leading online
travel agency, shares 5 interesting things you can do with potatoes.
1. Remove Rust
Potato contains oxalic acid which helps to dissolve rust. If you
want to remove rust spots on something like a knife, simply insert the
knife in the potato and let it sit for a while or cut the potato in half
and rub the cut portion over the rusty area, then use a wire scrub on
the area. It will go a long way in helping to remove the rust. To tackle
larger rusted surface, sprinkle baking powder on the cut portion of a
potato or dip in dish soap, and scrub the rusted area with it.
2. Reducing Puffy Eyes
Simply slice a potato, set aside two slices, place each slice on
one eye and keep them on your eyes for about twenty minutes. Repeat this
process regularly and you will eventually see a noticeable change.
Potatoes can also help to remove dark circles or dark spots under the
eyes as well.
3. Polish Silverware
Rather than purchasing a can of expensive polish, why not use the
water you’ve boiled some potatoes in. All you need to do is place the
silverware in this water, after the potatoes have been removed from it
of course, and let the silverware soak for twenty minutes or half an
hour. Remove the silverware, wipe them properly and you’ll be left with
sparkling silverware.
4. For Skin Care
Potatoes are great for helping to remove pimples, blackheads, oily
skin and other common skin conditions because they contain essential
nutrients and vitamins that help to clean the skin from the pores and
remove future threats. You can slice a potato, rub it over the affected
area and leave it on for a minute or two before gently rinsing off and
patting down with a towel. You can also make a paste out of the potato
by using a blender. You apply the paste on your face for about 15
minutes and then gently wash off.
5. Power Source
Potatoes have been used as a power source for quite a few
inventions. Potatoes have a certain amount of energy that can be
harnessed. A potato actually almost acts like a battery that powers, for
some time, devices attached to it through a wire. You can use a wire to
attach either a bulb or digital clock to a potato, and experiment using
the potato to power these devices.
