While this is true, the fact is you need a couple of other ingredients like calcium and vitamin C also to grow and strengthen hair. Here is an innovative preparation of Jacket Potatoes with Broccoli and Red Pepper, which helps you meet these nutritional requirements in a lip-smacking way. Here, a thoughtful combination of vegetables that complement each other well in texture and flavour come together in a healthy white sauce made with whole wheat flour instead of maida, all set to meet your nutritional needs tastefully.

this is true example that when potatoes are not deep fired they can be a bit healthy. the potato skin are a good source of folic acid while capsicum and broccoli provide enough calcium and vitamin C. All these nutrients together work to get a glowing skin and shiny hair. I also liked the idea of avoiding cheese and maida and using wheat flour for the stuffing.
