Health benefits of Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes are a rich source of fibre and contains a good array of vitamins and minerals including iron, calcium, selenium.
They are a good source of B vitamins and vitamin C.
They’re high in an antioxidant known as beta-carotene, which converts to vitamin A once consumed.
They reduce the risk of cancer.
Why should you add sweet potato to otherwise tasty basic hummus?
- Sweet potato adds a great flavour to this classic dip.
- But, by large, it makes hummus more healthy as it is a rich source of vitamin C, vitamin A, vitamin B1, B2, copper, manganese and contains a significant amount of dietary fibre as well.
I have added tahini to Sweet Potato Hummus but you can also make Sweet Potato Hummus without Tahini in case you do not like sesame seeds. Also, both roasted, as well as cooked sweet potato, work well for this hummus so suit yourself with your choice.
In a nutshell, I would give 10 on 10 to this veggie hummus as it turned fabulous! How about you? Try it out and tell me?
