Sweet potato, the starchy sweet tasting root vegetable, is a powerful nutritional pack. In one medium spud, there is over 400 percent of your daily vitamin A requirement. Sweet potatoes are considered low on the glycemic index scale, and recent research suggests they may reduce episodes of low blood sugar and insulin resistance in people with diabetes.<\/p>\n
Sweet potatoes are a rich source of fibre as well as containing a good array of vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium, selenium, and they’re a good source of most of our B vitamins and vitamin C. One of the key nutritional benefits of sweet potato is that they’re high in an antioxidant known as beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A once consumed. Sweet potatoes are high in fibre, which has been shown to promote a healthy digestive system.<\/p>\n
Though sweet potatoes are an excellent addition to a balanced diet, they contain oxalates which bind calcium and other minerals. Too many oxalates in the diet may cause kidney stones and so should be eaten in moderation by those who have existing kidney stones or are at high risk of developing them.<\/p>\n
