Sweet Potatoes are by far the most nutrient packed vegetable, since the total nutrient content of a sweet potato far outweighs that of any other vegetable.
Sweet Potatoes are high in Beta-Carotene and Vitamins C and E. With the skin on them, they are also a good source of fiber. Sweet Potatoes also offer us other essential nutrients such as, potassium, iron, and Vitamin B6. Not only that, they are almost completely fat and cholesterol free! They are also low in sodium and only have about 130 calories for a medium sized potato.
Did you know that one sweet potato, eaten with the skin on, contains four times the recommended amount of Beta-Carotene? In fact, it would take 23 cups of broccoli to give you the same amount of Beta-Carotene of one medium sweet potato! Now it’s time to get your kids to eat sweet potatoes!
