Cooking Skills：Sweet potato is a plant with strong resistance to pests, and less pesticides are used during planting. If there is no infestation or rot, just use a soft brush to remove the surface soil and eat. Due to the appearance and texture, when cooking sweet potatoes, the skin is usually peeled off, and then cut into granules or flakes. In fact, sweet potato skin is rich in nutrients and dietary fiber, and it is recommended to eat without peeling. Eating raw sweet potatoes is easy to cause symptoms such as hiccups and abdominal distension.
This is because raw sweet potatoes contain gastrointestinal enzyme inhibitors, which affect digestion and absorption. It is recommended to cook the sweet potatoes thoroughly to destroy the digestive enzyme inhibitors in them.

As long as the sweet potatoes are cooked thoroughly, the oxidase can be destroyed. Sweet potatoes are high in sugar. Eating too much will stimulate the secretion of gastric acid. Excessive secretion of gastric acid will stimulate stomach contraction, causing gastric acid to flow back into the esophagus, causing heartburn and acid vomiting. Most of the edible parts of sweet potato are its roots. However, because sweet potato leaves have the effect of moisturizing the lungs and stomach, the leaf parts are also used for food and medicine. Sweet potato is a crop that tolerates drought and barrenness, has strong adaptability and resistance to pests, so its yield is very stable.

The best nutrients can be absorbed when cooked with the skin on. Since sweet potatoes contain less pesticides, you can buy better quality sweet potatoes and cook them with the skin on to absorb the complete nutrients.
