 Sweet Potato Falafel Sweet potatoes, or yams, are among the world's very healthiest foods - and they taste delicious too. Their health and weight management benefits far exceed the nutritional value found in ordinary white and yellow fleshed potatoes. They are great sources of vitamin A and also contain vitamin B6, vitamin C, calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium. They are also a great source of dietary fiber.
As their rich orange color indicates, they are high in carotenoids like beta carotene and other carotenoids. Another benefit of sweet potatoes is that they are naturally sweet and their natural sugars are slowly released into the bloodstream, helping to ensure a balanced and regular source of energy, without the blood sugar spikes linked to fatigue and weight gain.
Many people are not aware of how versatile sweet potatoes are when it comes to preparing them in dishes. Besides baking them, they can be roasted, puréed, steamed, or grilled. Here is a different twist for using sweet potatoes which also contains several other healthy ingredients.
