Sweet Potato Nutrition
However you spell it or fix it, you couldn't ask for a
healthier food for the price. One sweet potato contains
potassium, iron, vitamin B6, more vitamin C than a tomato,
and 100% of the daily requirement of vitamin E.
Best of all, the sweet potato is high in beta-carotene, a
form of vitamin A that can reduce the risk of cancer. One
sweet potato (eaten with the skin on) has four times the
daily requirement of beta-carotene (equal to 23 cups of
broccoli) and as much fiber as a bowl of oatmeal.
All that value plus a fat-free, cholesterol-free,
naturally-sweet taste for only 118 calories!
