Sweet potatoes are rich in both sugar and fiber. They are a great source of vitamin C, potassium, beta carotene that is transformed to vitamin A. Baked sweet potatoes contain less oil compared to all types of deep fried potatoes; they are considered healthier over French fries since they contain other minerals like manganese which produces collagen and potassium that regulates blood pressure and helps keep the excess sodium out of the body. Sweet potato fries contain strong antioxidants, especially the purple sweet ones which protect the body against aging and many kinds of diseases. Unlike potatoes, sweet potato fries are a strong anti- inflammatory snack recommended to curb the intensity of chronic illnesses like type 2 diabetes, cancer and heart disease.
