Easy ways to add sweet potatoes to your daily Indian diet
In India, sweet potatoes show up every winter, roasted on coal beds by roadside vendors; skins charred, flesh steaming, sprinkled with chaat masala. But they’re more than just a seasonal snack. Per 100 grams, sweet potato gives you about 3.3 g fibre (that’s roughly 10–12% of an adult’s daily fibre needs), plus over 100% of your vitamin A requirement and around 20–25% of vitamin C. Their slow-release carbs deliver lasting energy. Mild in flavour and easy to cook, they slip into daily meals without effort.
