Sweet potatoes are very sweet, especially roasted sweet potatoes, even dripping honey, and it seems that the whole sweet potato is made of sugar.
Therefore, many people think that sweet potatoes have very high sugar content and are very high in calories. Eating them can easily lead to high blood sugar and make them prone to gain weight.
It seems that this conclusion is not a problem. Things that taste so sweet are of course high in sugar, and they will naturally gain weight if they taste high in sugar. Is there a problem with the inference of
?
has a big problem, and it is completely opposite to the truth.
Sweet potatoes are not only sweet, but also have a particularly high yield, which is astonishingly high.
Before the liberation, it would be good if the grain yield per mu of land could be 200 to 300 kilograms, but you can harvest more than 1,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, and you don’t pick up land and plant them at will. You can also harvest thousands of kilograms of sweet potatoes in the poorest land. The yield of sweet potatoes is about 6 times that of the staple food.
Now with fertilizers, the yield per mu of grain has increased sharply, and good land can achieve a yield of more than a thousand kilograms per mu.
But with fertilizers, the yield of sweet potatoes has also increased sharply, and the current average yield per mu can reach 3,000. . . kilograms, that is, 6,000 kilograms. The yield of sweet potatoes is 6 times that of staple food.
If the energy of sweet potatoes is particularly high, it is really composed of honey. The yield gap of up to 6 times is here. As long as you use sweet potatoes as staple food, you can solve human food problems in one fell swoop.
Then why don’t sweet potatoes be designated as the staple food by any human country in the world? Even potatoes have a higher strategic position in the field of food security than sweet potatoes.
The four major staple foods officially designated by China are rice, wheat, corn, and potatoes. I would rather use potatoes as staple food than arrange a place for sweet potatoes.
is obvious, of course there is a reason for this.
Scientists do not recognize feelings, but only recognize quantitative standards. So how much calories can edible sweet potatoes provide to humans?
per 100 grams of sweet potato can only provide humans with 99 calories.
. Every 100 grams of rice can provide humans with 346 calories, which means that the calories of rice with the same weight are about 3.5 times that of sweet potatoes.
In other words, although the per mu yield of sweet potatoes is 6 times that of rice, the calories per kilogram of rice is 3.5 times that of sweet potatoes. In this way, the total calories provided by each acre of sweet potatoes are only about 1.7 times that of rice.
Sweet potatoes still have advantages. In the period of famine, you still have to eat sweet potatoes to gain advantages, but the total calorie advantage is not big.
However, rice is resistant to storage and can be stored for several years. Sweet potatoes are difficult to store and they will break in a few months. It is difficult to use the best conditions for more than half a year, which makes it impossible for sweet potatoes to become national reserve grain.
Shred the sweet potatoes into starch and make them into sweet potato vermicelli for storage. This is OK, but it is too labor-intensive.
Although the total calorie yield per mu is 70% higher than that of rice, the production of staple foods such as rice can be completely mechanized, and planting and harvesting sweet potatoes requires a lot of manpower.
Calculate the labor cost. The unit calorie cost of sweet potatoes is much more expensive than that of rice. If they have to be crushed and extracted for starch to be stored, it will be even more expensive.
Therefore, when growing rice, it is cheaper to obtain unit calories than growing sweet potatoes. Eating sweet potatoes for the whole people will only appear when the country's food calories are seriously insufficient and they will spare manpower and cost to obtain calories for food.
So rice is the staple food, sweet potatoes are not, the country has carefully calculated it.
But sweet potatoes cannot become staple food. In today's era when there is no shortage of food and everyone is worried about obesity, it suddenly becomes an advantage.
Low calories? I don’t like low calories. I want to lose weight, so zero calories is better.
In addition to extremely low calories, sweet potatoes also have a characteristic, which is that they feel particularly full.
In that "Red taro rice, red taro buns, you can't live without red taro" , the reason why people like to eat sweet potatoes is that in addition to planting sweet potatoes, the total calorie can be 70% higher than the staple food, another characteristic is that sweet potatoes feel particularly full.
After eating sweet potatoes, people will feel a lasting feeling of fullness, reduce their appetite and hunger, and make people more likely to survive the uncomfortable famine years. This happens to
because 80% of the whole sweet potato is indigestive dietary fiber.
Sweet potatoes are well roasted, and they can make the effect of flowing sugar water inside, but in fact 80% of the sugar water inside are indigestive plant fibers.
just looks like sugar water and tastes sweet, but it is not at all.
This large amount of plant fibers enters the human body and is not only indigested, but also particularly absorbs water. Therefore, people will like to drink water after eating sweet potatoes.
These fibers will expand in volume after absorbing water, making people misjudged that a large amount of food is still digested in the stomach and intestines.
so you feel full, so you will reduce your appetite and hunger.
This large amount of indigestive plant fibers has been browsed through the human body and stomach for a while, and finally it has all become. . .
shit.
Sweet potatoes have particularly strong feces.
There is a saying in some areas that "One pound of sweet potato and eight taels, but looking back and looking at it will not stop."
Some areas have started an arms race, and the common saying of "one pound of sweet potatoes and twelve taels" .
There is also a more powerful region, and it has created the common saying of "one pound of sweet potatoes and three pounds of shit" .
How many kilograms of shit can be made by a kilogram of sweet potatoes? The statements in different regions are different, but the minimum standard is 8 taels. The feces production ability of this thing is very outrageous.
In modern nutrition , sweet potatoes have high fiber content and are quite famous.
Therefore, sweet potato has another characteristic, which is that it can stimulate intestinal peristalsis, promote defecation, have a strong sense of fullness, and reduce food intake.
is very obvious. These characteristics are the characteristics of typical weight loss tools, and sweet potatoes are also purely natural and have a particularly good taste.
Back to the beginning, since sweet potatoes have such low calories, and since sweet potatoes are full of indigestive plant fiber, why do they taste so sweet?
Because the taste is sweet or not, it is not determined by the total calories, but by the total sugar.
The total calories of rice are particularly high, but these calories are provided by starch. The starch itself is not sweet, but it will decompose into glucose after entering the human body.
So people with Diabetes cannot eat rice and noodles, because rice noodles only taste not sweet, but the actual blood sugar increase effect is particularly terrifying, which is much higher than eating meat.
These blood sugars are all sources of energy, so rice and flour are the staple food for humans.
Sweet potatoes also have starch, but the content is much less than that of rice.
However, sweet potatoes have a characteristic that is easy to saccharify and can easily decompose starch into sugar, which is much easier than rice.
Some sweet potatoes are sweet, while some are not sweet. Those unsweet sweet potatoes are not because there is less starch, but because this variety is difficult to saccharify, which causes a lot of starch to become sugar when you eat it.
Once the sweet potato converts a large amount of starch into sugar, it will taste particularly sweet, but the actual energy content is less than 1/3 of the rice.
So if you have diabetes, the doctor will not forbid you from eating sweet potatoes, but will only forbid you from eating rice and flour. In medicine, sweet potatoes are typical low-sugar food .
Sweet potatoes have different varieties. The easier it is to saccharify, the sweeter the food, but the total energy is almost the same.
So in the end, we found that sweet potatoes are low in fat, low in calories, high in fiber, and high in vitamins, which can also effectively enhance the feeling of fullness and help people who lose weight to resist hunger.
Isn’t this a complete weight loss tool? And there is no slight technology or ruthlessness, pure natural food.
Sweet potatoes have only one disadvantage, that is, they cannot only eat sweet potatoes, and they eat them every day, and need to be accompanied by other foods. As for why, people who grew up eating sweet potatoes for more than ten years in the last century have the most say in this.
But in today's era, food is extremely abundant. Humans eat meat every day and vomit. Various milk tea cakes and barbecue are everywhere. It is absolutely impossible for you to ignore it and eat sweet potatoes every day.
If you have extremely strong willpower and can ignore so many delicacies, you don’t need to lose weight, because you can easily control your body shape.
So in this era, all the shortcomings of sweet potatoes have disappeared and have become a pure weight loss tool. Eating a little when you want to lose weight is much better than deliberately losing weight when you are hungry.
Sweet potatoes are obviously the best baked. Bake them at 150 degrees Celsius for 1.5 to 2 hours to get perfect sweet potatoes, but most families do not have an oven and cannot bake them for such a long time. Buying roasted sweet potatoes is very expensive.
steamed and eaten, the sweetness will drop a lot, and the very refreshing taste will be much less.
I have eaten many varieties of sweet potatoes and found that some sweet potatoes of particularly good quality can be sweet even if they are steamed, and they have the sweetness of ordinary roasted sweet potatoes on the street.
The specific method is to boil water over high heat and then put the washed sweet potatoes. Remember not to add sweet potatoes in cold water, nor to peel or cut the sweet potatoes in half.
If the sweet potato is too large and cannot be steamed thoroughly, you can also cut it open, but it is best not to buy this big sweet potato, because once it is cut, the flavor will be lost a lot after steaming.
Boil the water and put the sweet potatoes in the pot, steam over high heat for 20 minutes, then change to low heat, and simmer for another 20 minutes to get a super sweet sweet potato.
Of course, only individual sweet potatoes that are particularly easy to saccharify can do this.
The easier it is to saccharify, the shorter the time it needs to be steamed, the smaller the size of the sweet potato, the shorter the time it needs to be steamed.
The best sweet potato variety I have tested currently takes 40 minutes. Some poor varieties are not very sweet even if they are steamed for 1 and a half hours.
But that effect is really fragrant and sweet, and super delicious.
strongly recommend everyone to give it a try.
Sweet potatoes are agricultural products. All agricultural products have a quality control problem. Different quality conditions are common. In order to ensure that everyone can eat a sweet potato that is easy to saccharify, I recommend one to you. After trying sweet potatoes from multiple suppliers, their quality control is relatively the best, with the yield, that is, the proportion of sweet taste is the highest.
Moreover, while their sweet potatoes are controlled, they also processed the sweet potatoes with special temperature, humidity and technology. They artificially saccharified them, so that the sweet potatoes can taste sweeter after steaming them. They almost used sweet potatoes as fruits, but the price is not high.
-Super sweet, recommended to try it, open the link and buy it now-

As I said above, do not cut or peel, first high heat and then low heat, steam for 40 minutes, their sweet potatoes can be completely as powerful as the magical effect of eating roasted. They are super sweet and melted in their mouth.
There are indeed many sweet potatoes that are not sweet when steamed and have average taste, but theirs is not. The taste is really different from what is on the market. It is recommended to try it so as not to say that it is not sweet when steamed after buying sweet potatoes. Then you don’t have an oven at home and can’t afford roasted sweet potatoes, so you don’t want to try it.
Whether their sweet potatoes are sweet or not, you will know as soon as you eat them. As for the calories, although their sweet potatoes are sweet, they are not high at all.
If they have the ability to increase the calories of sweet potatoes, they are the great contributors to solving human food problems. Now they are probably awarded the Nobel Prize and the Medal of the Republic of at the same time.
has not given them an award yet. It can be proved that even if the sweet potatoes in their house do not have much calories.
Sweet potatoes are not suitable as human staple food, but they are really suitable for weight loss. All you need to consider is to find the sweetest variety.
sweet does not mean that the calories must be high, which is different from milk tea.
Want to lose weight, but you are afraid that has high blood sugar , so you can consider eating sweet potatoes, which are very sweet.
