Sweet potatoes
As you already know, sweet potatoes are some of the most nutritious and delicious vegetables on earth. Studies have found that they are among the best sources of vitamin A, vitamin B5, riboflavin, niacin, thiamin, and carotenoids. So, they could help if you have a vitamin A deficiency. It has been proven that sweet potatoes can help manage stress levels, prevent cancer, minimize the risk of cardiovascular diseases, and improve hair and skin.
According to Jillian Kubala, MS, RD, “White potatoes are slightly more caloric than sweet potatoes, but the difference is negligible. When it comes to choosing between sweet and white potatoes, people should choose whatever they will enjoy more. Like any carbohydrate source, be sure to practice portion control if weight loss is a priority.”
