Definitely! Sweet potatoes are high in nutrients and antioxidants, making them a nutritional powerhouse. One of the key qualities of the sweet potato is that it has a low glycemic index, which means that when you eat it, the complex carbs produce a steady release of glucose into the bloodstream, offering sustained energy without causing rapid spikes in blood sugar. By contrast, white potatoes have a very high glycemic index and can raise blood sugar even more than a donut! (ama-assn.org)
