Potatoes are one of the most beloved vegetables worldwide and there are hundreds of ways of cooking and enjoying them.

According to Yakuzen, they are mainly related to your stomach health. They are Qi-nourishing vegetables and strengthen your spleen, meaning that they can help you recover from fatigue caused by a weakened stomach and improve your digestive system.
However, some people might get a bloating stomach by eating lots of potatoes at one time and to avoid that, I suggest eating with onions. In Yakuzen, it’s believed that Qi stagnation causes a bloating stomach and onions have the property of promoting Qi flow.
