Nutrient-rich

Sweet potato tubers contain 60%-80% water, 10%-30% starch, about 5% sugar and a small amount of protein, oil, cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, ash, etc. If 2.5 kg of fresh sweet potato is converted into 0.5 kg of grain, its nutritional components, except fat, are higher in protein and carbohydrates than rice and flour. The protein composition of sweet potatoes is relatively reasonable, and the content of essential amino acids is high, especially lysine, which is relatively lacking in cereal foods, is found in sweet potatoes at a higher level. In addition, sweet potatoes are rich in vitamins (carotene, vitamin A, B, C, E), and their starch is easily absorbed by the human body.

1. Carotene

Vitamin A is known as the "little eye guard". Vitamin A is converted from carotene. Sweet potatoes are rich in carotene and can provide abundant vitamin A. The vitamin A content can be as high as 40 mg/100g of fresh white sweet potato. After being absorbed by the human body, carotene can be converted into vitamin A. Vitamin A maintains normal visual function.

2. Dietary Fiber

The fiber content of white sweet potato is equivalent to 10 times that of rice and flour. It has a fine texture and is gentle on the stomach and intestines. It can speed up the peristalsis of the digestive tract, aid defecation, clean the digestive tract, shorten the residence time of toxic substances in food in the intestines, reduce human self-poisoning caused by constipation, reduce the concentration of intestinal carcinogens, and prevent hemorrhoids and colorectal cancer. At the same time, cellulose can absorb some glucose, reducing the sugar content in the blood and helping to prevent diabetes.
