Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are a filling, low-fat root vegetable. Only 1.4 grams of fat are found in one medium sweet potato. Sweet potatoes offer vitamin A, vitamin C, and a number of B vitamins in addition to being low in fat.

Minerals like manganese and potassium are also abundant in them. They are a rich orange color because they contain a lot of beta-carotene, a plant pigment that is believed to protect cells from free radical damage. Your eyes seem to benefit significantly from beta-carotene. You can get 400% of your daily requirement for vitamin A from only one sweet potato. According to studies, eating a diet rich in beta-carotene may lower your chance of developing eye problems including cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
