Sweet Potato

Sweet potato seems everywhere right now, you can't mention it without some odd little hipster type creaming themselves over the a fond memory of sweet potato fries they had with their cheeky Nandos last night!

This is with good reason, I love sweet potato and it's got loads of goodness packed inside.

 More vitamin A than you can shake a stick at with 100g having 384% of your RDA!

A decent about of vitamin C with 34% of your RDA.

25% of your Manganese.

More potassium than a banana!

Help boost testosterone levels.

A good amount of fibre, if you eat the skins!

May reduce the risk of breast cancer in pre menopausal women.

May reduce ovarian cancer in post menopausal women.

Can help relieve stress.

Helps heart health by reducing the hardening of your arteries.

I tend to mash my sweet potatoes but this means losing out on the skins!
 I used to roast them but this made them too sweet so if anyone has any cooking suggestions let me know.

Eating a lot of sweet potato can make your skin and nails go orange but it isn't harmful and should go back to normal if your calm down with all the sweet potato you've been binging on.

 In the mean time just remember that the futures bright, the futures orange!
