Sweet Potato Muffin Recipe
Sweet potatoes and are rich in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and fiber. So while they are a sweet, starchy vegetable, they can be very healthy for you!
The fiber and antioxidants in sweet potatoes are advantageous to gut health, and Sweet potatoes contain two types of fiber: soluble and insoluble, neither of which your body can process, so the fiber stays within your digestive tract and provides a variety of gut-related health benefits. Fiber-rich diets containing 20–33 grams per day have been linked to a lower risk of colon cancer and more regular bowel movements.
Anthocyanins, a group of antioxidants found in the purple variety of sweet potatoes, has been found to slow the growth of certain types of cancer cells in test-tube studies, including those of the bladder, colon, stomach, and breast!
