Abstract
Have you ever wondered about how much starch you are consuming in your diet? Through our experiment, we hope to discover if different types of potatoes have different amounts of starch. Starch is a very important element for our bodies to consume, but yet kept in proportionate amounts. Starch is a chain of glucose molecules that supplies our body with energy. Which types of potatoes will give us the most amount of energy?
