Sweet potatoes without skin have several advantages. Compared to white potatoes, they are lower on the glycemic index and therefore do not cause blood sugar spikes as quickly. They are also a good source of fiber, which can help to regulate digestion. Additionally, sweet potatoes without skin are a good source of vitamins and minerals, such as Vitamin A, potassium, and magnesium. Sweet potatoes with skin have some of the same advantages, but they have more fiber. It is important to note that both kinds of sweet potatoes are healthy choices and can be part of a well-balanced diet.
