Sweet potato is a great source of energy and minerals. It has high starch content and that’s why it is a great energy booster. Since it is also a high-calorie food, the best way to eat it is to steam it lightly. Boiling, cooking of frying will only increase its calorie count and you will lose out on the minerals that it contains.
Why sweet potatoes….
Nutritionists advise that the single most important dietary change for most people would be to replace fatty foods with foods rich in complex carbohydrates. This is where sweet potatoes step in. This root veggie is rich in dietary fibre, naturally occurring sugars, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins A and C, iron and calcium. They have the lowest glycaemic index rating among all root vegetables. That’s because the sweet potato digests slowly, causing a gradual rise in blood sugar.
