Health Benefits of Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are rich in lots of nutrients and are a healthy addition to any meal. Here are just some of the nutritional benefits of sweet potatoes:
- High in vitamins including vitamin A, vitamin C, calcium, iron and magnesium.
- Rich in antioxidants and fibre which can help your digestion and gut health.
- Contain anthocyanins which may have cancer-fighting properties.
- High in beta-carotene which converts to vitamin A and has vision benefits.

If you're like me, you associate sweet potatoes with all things fall. This, of course, includes comfort food! Cook these for when you're looking for a cozy meal to warm you up.
