A little bit different but sounds yum all the same! This recipe contains sweet potato, a top nutritional powerhouse that can be used for a wide variety of meals. Sweet potato ranks low on the glycaemic index scale compared to its white potato counterpart. This means that when you are eating sweet potato there is a slow absorption process in which your blood sugar will be released gradually. This will keep you full for longer and prevent sugar spikes and crashes associated with sugars, fruits and other high GI foods. So, an awesome idea for weight loss and people with diabetes! Sweet potato also contains a wide variety of vitamins and minerals which benefit healthy body function. Anthocyanin is the nutrient which gives the sweet potato its colour pigment and also happens to be a natural anti-inflammatory. Sweet potatoes are full of antioxidants which help to fight against free radicals and disease. They are also a good source of iron, magnesium, vitamin C, D and B6.
