Sweet Potato (रताळे)

उपवासाच्या दिवसांसाठी (Fasting/Vrat)

Sweet potatoes (रताळे) are highly nutritious root vegetables rich in dietary fibre, beta-carotene, vitamins (A, C, B6), and potassium. They support gut health, boost immunity, and regulate blood sugar.

Key health benefits include:

• Eye Health: High levels of beta-carotene convert to Vitamin A, protecting vision and lowering the risk of age-related eye diseases.
• Digestion: Rich in dietary fibre, they promote healthy bowel movements and support a healthy gut microbiome.
• Heart Health: Potassium and Vitamin B6 help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease.
• Blood Sugar Control: Their complex carbs and fibre release energy slowly, maintaining stable blood sugar levels

For maximum nutritional value and a lower glycemic index, it is recommended to eat them boiled or steamed, ideally with the skin intact
