It has been determined that each kilogram of sweet potato contains 290 grams of sugar, 23 grams of protein, 5 grams of crude fiber, and 2 grams of fat. It also contains a variety of vitamins and minerals. The content of vitamins is similar to that of oranges and tangerines. In particular, sweet potatoes with yellow hearts have a carotene content of 52 mg per 100 grams. Sweet potatoes can supply a lot of heat to the human body. One kilogram of sweet potato can produce 5317 kilojoules of heat, while 1 kilogram of white flour or rice produces only 14779 kilojoules of calories. What is even more wonderful is that the protein contained in the sweet potato has a complementary effect on the protein in the rice noodles, which can obviously supplement the lack of vitamin C in the flour, the calcium in the rice, and the lack of both carotene. Sweet potato and rice, mixed with white flour, can increase the nutritional value of the staple food and make people prolong life.

After eating, there will be no feeling of discomfort such as bloating, heartburn, snoring, nausea, and exhaust.
