There are two kinds of sweet potatoes –
white sweet potato and the orange sweet potato . Sweet potatoes are rich in Vitamin A, C, B6
and Beta carotene. Since sweet potatoes have a low glycemic index, they can be
consumed by those suffering from diabetes, without any apprehensions. Though the preparation of Thoran
