The Sweet Potatoes Yam "Orange Flesh" is the crop our West Africa Ancestors brought to America and other parts of the world doing the Atlantic Slave Trade and they ate it doing slavery because they were poor.
But the Sweet Potatoes Yam has more health benefits than the white yam because the white yam carries more starch when increases your glucose levels. However, they both are tasty.
They're high in fiber and antioxidants, which protect your body from free radical damage and promote a healthy gut and brain. They're also incredibly rich in beta carotene, which is converted to vitamin A to support good vision and your immune system.
