Vitamin B1 is found in many foods, so deficiencies are rare. It's water-soluble and easily excreted, so there is no known excess or toxicity. Note: B1 deficiency isn't common today, as many foods are fortified. But B1 deficiency is common with malnutrition and may contribute to symptoms of anorexia (especially over time as nutrient intake dwindles) We get it from: - Beans and legumes - Sunflower seeds and tahini (seed paste) - Marmite - Nutritional yeast - Whole grains such as oats and barley. (Many cereals will also be fortified) Do you know what could be the result if we are not getting enough? Let me know in the comments!👇

You may have noticed that particular potato recipes call for specific type of potatoes. This is because potatoes differ by their content of amylose and amylopectin. - Potato types high in amylose are fluffy and floury. They're the best for mashing, frying, or baking. - Potato types high in amylopectin are waxy. They're best for boiling, and tend to hold their shape rather than falling apart. If you try to mash them, they'll go gluey. Waxy-type potatoes are also higher in resistant starch. When they're cooked , then cooled, their molecules align to trap water and resist digestion. Do you know what's the difference between the amylose and amylopectin? Tell me if you know, and tell me if you don't👇 @Elena Maren don't spoil the joke for others, wait for them to answer 😂

@Elena Maren which is better and if you have a recommendation, please share. I don't like fish, so I have used these two supplements recently. Thanks in advance.
