Created for the North Carolina Sweetpotato Commission by Ayat Sleymann, MS, RDNSweetpotatoes - rich in fiber and gut-loving nutrients - make the perfect gut-healthy snack. Sweetpotatoes contain a type of starch called resistant starch. Resistant starch is not fully broken down or absorbed in the small intestine, reaching the colon where it serves as a prebiotic. Prebiotics are substances that nourish the good bacteria in the gut, supporting their growth and activity.To make the creamiest shakes, smoothies and puddings, try freezing your sweetpotatoes after you have baked them! Bake in the oven at 425 for about 45 minutes or until you can poke a fork through them. Let them cool then freeze over night.
