Why choose sweet potato?
Sweet potato is a food of choice for a balanced diet. It is rich in fiber, vitamins (A, C, B6) and minerals (potassium, magnesium). In addition, it has a relatively low glycemic index, which makes it a great ally for regulating your blood sugar.
Unlike the classic potato, the sweet potato is also known for its anti-inflammatory properties thanks to its high antioxidant content. Ideal for people suffering from intestinal problems or autoimmune diseases, it can help soothe your symptoms.
