Did you know that out of all vegetables, sweet potatoes rank number one in nutrition according to the Center for Science and Public Interest (CSPI)? Sweet potatoes are a great source of Vitamin C, vitamin B6, Vitamin D, and iron. They contain carotenoids (powerful antioxidants) that help ward off cancer and protect against the effects of aging. And because they slowly release their sugars, they don’t spike blood sugar which helps you keep a balanced level of energy.
