And why are they considered superfoods?
Sweet potatoes have a number of health benefits that set them apart from other starchy vegetables.
This superfood is a great source of antioxidants. These substances are important for neutralizing the free radicals that lead to cognitive decline and memory loss. When digested, the antioxidants are transformed into vitamin A, which plays a crucial role in improving night vision, keeping cell growth healthy, and immune system functions regulated.
In fact, one baked sweet potato contains more than the recommended daily dose of vitamin A, along with a good amount of vitamins C and B6.
