Healthy, because
Sweet potatoes contain plenty of energy-giving carbohydrates and a lot of beta-carotene. As an antioxidant, the carotenoid has the property to intercept cell-damaging free radicals. In addition, it is converted into vitamin A in the body on demand - this is what our eyes enjoy most.
Even smarter
