Organic Mashed Ipoh Sweet Potato
These large organic orange sweet potatoes are grown up in a sandy loam in the Ipoh region. Totally unrelated to potatoes (Solanaceae family), they belong to the Convolvulaceae family, like Kang Kong.
Beta-carotene is one of the main antioxidants, but they are also a good source of vitamins B and C and offer minerals iron, calcium and selenium. The high fibre helps contribute to digestive health and means these beauties have a relatively low GI. They are great for stabilising blood sugar, enhancing immunity and supporting eye health.
Sweet potatoes contain choline which is often grouped with the B vitamins. It supports the nervous system, learning and memory and may help with the inflammation associated with asthma.
Butter was used as the fat to aid absorption of the fat-soluble beta-carotene, but you could also use a little coconut oil or olive oil for this purpose.
