Abstract :
Sweet potatoes are a type of cultivated plant. The part that is used is the roots that form
tubers with high levels of nutrition (carbohydrate). In Africa, sweet potato bulbs are one of the
important food sources. In Asia, besides being used for the tuber, young sweet potato leaves are
also made vegetables.
Purple sweet potato is a type of sweet potato that has a strong sweet taste compared to
the type of sweet potato or white yam. Although many people don't really like it because the taste
of the flesh is too soft. However, it turns out that the nutrients and compounds found in purple
sweet potatoes exceed those of other types of sweet potatoes. Purple sweet potato is very good to
support your health.
As a direct relative of the orange-fleshed variety, purple sweet potatoes are rich in
essential vitamins (including vitamin A/ beta carotene, which makes this crop even more
important in commonly deficient areas in Africa) and minerals, as well as a large amount of fiber,
which helps provide the sensation of fullness and satiety.
