Sweet potato is the richest low-fat source of vitamin E. It contributes to heart health and is a good source of dietary antioxidants. It can help to regulate high blood pressure and also helps anaemia. It may also protect against inflammatory conditions.
Sweet potatoes should be stored in a cool and dark place. Like most vegetables, they should be eaten not too long after purchase, as their vitamin contents can diminish over time.
An average 200 g serving of sweet potato provides all the carotene needs of an adult and more than double their vitamin E requirements.
