SWEET POTATO
Sweet potatoes are starchy root vegetables that are rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
They’re also high in antioxidants that protect your body from free radical damage and
chronic disease. Sweet potatoes contain fiber and antioxidants that promote the growth of
good gut bacteria and contribute to a healthy gut. Sweet potatoes are rich in beta-carotene
and anthocyanins, antioxidants that may help prevent vision loss and improve eye health. Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta-carotene, which can be converted to vitamin A and help support your immune system and gut health.
