These are just a few of the many health benefits of eating this delicious versatile vegetable.

1. High nutritional value - 1 cup of sweet potatoes contains 65% of the minimum necessary daily amount of Vitamin C. Sweet potatoes are also high in calcium, folate, potassium and beta-carotene. 
2. Low glycemic index - The carotenoids in sweet potato can help your body respond to insulin and stabilise your blood sugar. 
3. Digestive Tract - Sweet potatoes are a good source of dietary fibre, helping to promote a healthy digestive system. 
4. Good for your skin - Their high levels of Vitamin A and beta-carotene means sweet potatoes are a skin superfood.
5. Sweet potatoes are like yoga - Their high potassium content means sweet potatoes can alleviate muscle cramps which are often related to potassium deficiency.

One of my favourite recipes - Mashed Sweet Potatoes with Coconut Milk, garlic and salt. Simple and Delicious.
