Sweet potatoes contain both soluble and insoluble fiber which support digestive health. They are also loaded with beta-carotene, an antioxidant which can be converted to vitamin A in the body, playing an essential role in supporting gut-based immunity. Eat them roasted in this wholesome bowl recipe, loaded with vegetables and chickpeas, which also provide extra prebiotic fiber to help beneficial bacteria thrive.
