About Medium sweet potato
A medium sweet potato is a nutrient-dense root vegetable originating from Central and South America, now enjoyed worldwide in various cuisines. It typically weighs around 130-150 grams and is packed with vitamins and minerals, including vitamin A, vitamin C, potassium, and fiber. Sweet potatoes are celebrated for their rich orange color, which indicates a high concentration of beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that supports vision, immunity, and skin health. They are naturally low in fat and cholesterol-free, making them a heart-healthy choice. Despite their natural sweetness, they have a relatively low glycemic index compared to other starchy foods, which can help with blood sugar regulation when eaten in moderation. Often roasted, mashed, or baked, sweet potatoes are versatile and pair well with both savory and sweet dishes. While healthy overall, watch portion sizes and added sugars or fats in recipes to maintain their nutritional benefits.
