Let’s Talk Purple Sweet Potato Nutrition
The deep rich purple color of Stokes Organic Purple Sweet Potatoes is natural and not a Genetically Modified Organism (GMO).
Purple Sweet Potato and Anthocyanins
Moreover, the purple color is said to be attributed to a powerful compound called Anthocyanin that acts as an antioxidant.
In addition, studies have shown that nutrients such as Vitamin C found in many fruits and vegetables also act as an antioxidant.
Anthocyanin not only gives fruits and vegetables their vibrant colors, but also act as a free radical scavenger.
Antioxidants help our body fight free radicals that can be very damaging to the cells in our bodies and potentially promote certain chronic diseases.
The National Institute Of Health gives more detailed insights on other sources of antioxidants and their many health benefits.
Purple Sweet Potato Calories and Glycemic Index

Purple Sweet Potato For People Living With Celiac Disease.
This recipe is dedicated to those living with Celiac Disease, Gluten sensitivity, and milk or lactose intolerance.
Gluten is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley or food products made with these grains.
Moreover, people who live with Celiac Disease cannot eat these grains.
When they eat foods that contain gluten, an immune response is triggered along their digestive tract.
In addition, over time, the lining of their digestive tract becomes so inflamed and damaged.
They experience symptoms such as diarrhea, bloating, GI bleeding, and malabsorption of some nutrients; just to name a few.
I do hope you will enjoy this sweet treat. Give a star rating and leave a comment.

Thank you Elle. Your baking inspires me a lot, I can’t bake as well as you do, but I will try.

Coconut flour is a good alternative to gluten-containing all-purpose flour.
