About Sweet Potato

Moderately calorie-dense, commonly used as a reference in fat-loss diets.

Health Benefits of Sweet Potato

Relatively low in calories

100g of sweet potato has only 86 kcal, about three-quarters of rice's calories, while being rich in fiber for stronger satiety - a common staple swap during weight management.

Rich in beta-carotene

The orange flesh comes from abundant beta-carotene (a vitamin A precursor), which supports skin health and immunity. Red-fleshed varieties are especially rich.

Versatile cooking

Steamed, roasted and porridge are all healthy preparations. Steaming preserves the most nutrients; roasting sweetens the flavor but raises the glycemic response.
