Sweet potatoes are the ultimate—satisfying non-grain carbohydrates, packed with nutrients and without all the inflammatory issues that white potatoes contain.

Sweet potatoes differ from white potatoes, and do not contain harmful compounds such as saponins, glycoalkaloids, and lectins like white potatoes. White potatoes are also considered a nightshade vegetable, making them a problem for some people who are sensitive to nightshades and the inflammation that they can cause for those types of people.

Are sweet potatoes Paleo?  Yes, definitely!

Many hunter-gatherer groups relied on tubers that were similar to sweet potatoes as a staple in their diets. Although they do contain a reasonable dose of carbs–about 25 grams in a medium sized potato—they also contain lots of fiber and super nutrients. Sweet potatoes are known to help stabilize blood sugar levels and make you feel full. Some of the super nutrients these sweet potatoes contain include antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. The bright orange flesh is a sign that sweet potatoes contain a massive amount of vitamin A, in the form of beta carotene. Adding a little grass-fed butter to your sweet potato dish can help the body convert this plant-based vitamin A into a more usable form of vitamin A.

Adding power-packed spices like curry powder (which contains turmeric), coriander, cardamom, ginger, and cayenne exponentially explodes the nutrients in this soup and promotes huge health benefits that are anti-aging, anti-inflammatory, brain-protective, and cancer fighting to name just a few. Enjoy this!!
