Kumara, Our Super Hero

It could not be other way.
Do we have to tell you #Kumaralovers that KUMARA is our SUPERHERO???

CSPI(Center for Science in the Public Interest) ranked Kumara,  sweet potato ,number one in nutrition of all vegetables.

The reasons the sweet potato took first place? 

• Dietary fiber,
•  naturally occurring sugars, 
• complex carbohydrates, 
• protein, 
• vitamins A and C, 
• iron and calcium. 

Kumaras are high in the following: beta-carotene, vitamin A, vitamin B6 and vitamin C; fiber, thiamine, niacin, potassium and copper. They are also a good source of protein, calcium, vitamin E.

The numbers for the nutritional Kumara speak for themselves: almost twice the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A, 42 percent of the recommendation for vitamin C, four times the RDA for beta carotene and when eaten with the skin sweet potatoes have more fiber than oatmeal. 

All these benefits with only about 130 to 160 calories!


Among root vegetables, sweet potatoes offer the lowest glycemic index rating. That’s because kumara digests slowly, causing a gradual rise in blood sugar so you feel satisfied longer.

It’s time to move Kumara to the "good" carb list. She is a SUPER HERO full of benefits for our bodies.
