Süßkartoffeln - 10 gesunde Gründe - Rezept aus dem Ofen / Sallys Welt

Translated from German:

Welcome to my world of cakes, today I have something savory for you to eat, and it’s not made out of potatoes, but rather sweet potatoes. Some of you may already know sweet potatoes from the supermarket, they come in several colors. The one I have here is a red sweet potato, and what I didn’t know until I did some research is that a sweet potato is not actually a potato, it has nothing to do with the potatoes we grow here in Germany. Botanically speaking, they are two completely different species. Our regular potatoes are nightshade plants, while sweet potatoes are from a different family and are not related to our potatoes at all. One major difference between the two is that you can only eat the potato part of the regular potato, and the part above ground is toxic. However, with sweet potatoes, the leaves above ground are also edible and can be cooked like spinach, and apparently they’re delicious. I’ve never tried them before, but I certainly will.

Today, I’m going to make sweet potato fries in the oven, and I’ll show you how to do it. Afterwards, I’ll give you a few reasons why you should eat sweet potatoes, as they are very healthy and can have a positive effect on your health. I have a few sweet potatoes, which I have washed thoroughly and cut into nice long sticks, about 12 centimeters wide. I’m going to put them on a baking sheet and drizzle them with some olive oil and salt, and put them in the preheated oven (about 200 degrees Celsius/400 Fahrenheit). Be careful, sweet potatoes cook faster than regular potatoes, so keep an eye on them. You can also season them with paprika or curry, according to your taste.

Now, let me tell you why sweet potatoes are so healthy. According to the website “Centrum der Gesundheit”, sweet potatoes are unusually rich in antioxidants, which can protect the body against inflammation and diseases that are based on such inflammation, such as asthma, arthritis, gout, and many other diseases. Sweet potatoes are also excellent for regulating blood sugar levels, which is especially important for people with diabetes. They are rich in fiber, and if you eat them with the skin on, you can get even more vitamins and minerals. Sweet potatoes can also help prevent constipation and even colon cancer, and they are especially good for pregnant women and children, due to their high folic acid content. Sweet potatoes strengthen your immune system and can prevent muscle cramps, stress symptoms, and even heart attacks and strokes. Finally, sweet potatoes are considered the healthiest vegetables with excellent nutrient values and vital substances.

My sweet potato fries are ready and they look delicious. I’m going to surprise my family with these and I’m going to enjoy this healthy meal. Sweet potatoes are easy to find in any supermarket and they’re very affordable. You should eat them within 12 weeks, as they will lose their vitamins and minerals after that period.

I hope I have inspired you to try something new and explore the world of sweet potatoes. Let me know in the comments if you enjoyed this video and if you would like more healthy and easy-to-cook recipes. Don’t forget to share with your friends and give this video a thumbs up. See you next time.
