Sweet Potato

Sweet potato comes in two varieties: orange-fleshed and creamy-fleshed. Both have red skins and both are good sources of potassium, vitamin C and fibre. However I prefer to use the orange-fleshed variet, which is also an excellent source of betacarotene. This helps to prevent certain types of cancer and mops up free radicals.
