Carbs in Sweet Potatoes

carbs in sweet potatoesSweet potatoes are delightful root vegetables versatile enough to use in sweet and savory dishes alike. They are strongly anti-inflammatory and provide 796% of daily beta carotene needs. In addition, they also provide a decent amount of vitamin C at 65% of daily values. Iron, calcium, potassium and magnesium are also housed in these rich orange tubers; they are truly nutritional powerhouses. Because the calories in sweet potatoes come primarily from carbohydrates, those on very low carbohydrate diets may want to avoid them. For everyone else, however, sweet potatoes are on the healthiest foods on the planet.
