Sweet potatoes are packed with nutrition. They are a great source of minerals such as manganese, folate, copper, and iron. They are also a good source of natural sugars, protein, carotenoids, vitamin C & D, iron and calcium. Sweet Potatoes are also;
- Fantastic source of dietary fibre
- High in antioxidants
- An excellent source of carbohydrates for those with blood sugar problems.
- Good for those who are pregnant or trying to conceive because they are high in folate, which is essential for the healthy development of fetal cell and tissue.
- High in potassium which helps to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body, which is important for stabilizing blood pressure, regulating heart function, and alleviating muscle cramps.
- A good source of magnesium, which is the relaxation and anti-stress mineral
