Many
people think that sweet potatoes are just regular potatoes that are orange,red
or yellow but they are in fact a completely different vegetable.
Compared to regular potatoes, sweet potatoes have oodles more vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), vitamin C and even more fibre. This means that sweet potatoes are excellent for your digestion. Sweet potatoes are composed mainly of starch, which is very easy to break down and is soothing for the stomach and intestines too. This makes them an ideal healing choice for those suffering from the pain and inflammation associated with stomach ulcers and irritable bowel syndrome. The roughage of sweet potatoes even prevents constipation.

4 medium-large sweet potatoes
1 ½ cups fiyo-fiyo beans (well cooked and spiced to taste)
1 ripe avocado
Fried tomato-pepper sauce(spiced to
taste)
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400°F/200°C. Prick sweet potatoes a few times with a fork. Place on a baking sheet in the oven and roast for 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the potato. You will know it’s done when a knife can easily pierce the skin and the center is soft. I prefer to roast my potatoes sometimes
2. Remove sweet potatoes from oven and slice each one down the center, almost through to the bottom. Open up to reveal its flesh.
3. Stuff the sweet potato with fiyo-fiyo beans and top it with avocado, and any other herbs, sprouts or veggies you like. Pour sauce Sauce over the top. Serve and enjoy.
