One of nature's healthiest food, Kumara

Many people think Kumara ,  as being nothing more than plain old potato that can tweak our taste buds with some extra flavor. Yet cutting-edge research on Kumara, tells us that nothing could be further from the truth as they have so many unique nutritional benefits to offer!

Orange Kumaras are:

• Low in sodium/salt
• A source of fibre

• Orange Kumara is a good sourced of Vitamin C:   vitamin C is important to help ward off cold and flu viruses, but this crucial vitamin also plays an important role in bone and tooth formation, digestion, and blood cell formation. It helps accelerate wound healing, produces collagen which helps maintain skin’s youthful elasticity, and is essen­tial to helping us cope with stress. It even appears to help protect our body against toxins that may be linked to cancer.

Magnesium is necessary for healthy artery, blood, bone, heart, muscle, and nerve function, yet experts estimate that approximately 80 percent of the popula­tion  may be deficient in this important mineral.
• They are a source of potassium, one of the important electrolytes that help regulate heartbeat and nerve signals. Like the other electrolytes, potassium performs many essential functions, some of which include relaxing muscle contractions, reducing swelling, and protecting and controlling the activity of the kidneys.
