Rosemary Roasted Sweet Potato With Tahini & Cilantro

Sweet potato is so festive ✨ so delicious ✨ and so comforting.

Sweet potato varieties with orange or red skin and deep orange flesh contain more of the enzyme amylase, which breaks down starches into sugars. This not only makes them taste sweeter but also means that, with less starch to absorb moisture, these sweet potatoes have a moister, creamier texture than the lighter-colored, dry varieties.

In Ayurveda, sweet potato classifies as a sattvic food and is therefore good for both the body and mind. They are known for their sweet taste which is grounding and strength-building. Sweet potatoes are a high-fiber food that contains a complex compound of carbohydrates. As a result, it helps to provide energy to the body. It is a good source of beta-carotene which is mainly converted into antioxidants and vitamin A. It not only promotes good eye health but also good skin health and slows down the aging process.-According to popular belief and nutritionists, sweet potatoes do not raise blood pressure due to starch or maltose. As it is high in fiber, it consumes slowly, which helps in controlling blood pressure. Sweet potato is known to be beneficial to individuals with type 2 diabetes due to the high levels of magnesium and fiber, which can aid in reducing insulin resistance and stabilizing blood sugar. Sweet potatoes are very useful in controlling blood pressure and keeping the heart healthy.
