Orange-Fleshed Sweetpotato

Orange-fleshed sweetpotato (OFSPs) is a powerhouse for Vitamin A as compared to other colour sweetpotatoes. These sweet potatoes have proven to be a potential contributor to enhancing global food and nutrition security, including in countries like India.

OFSPs are intrinsically rich in Beta-carotene, one of nature's most abundant sources of Vitamin A. The human body efficiently converts beta-carotene into Vitamin A. These roots naturally and safely deliver Vitamin A to individuals of all ages, along with a plethora of essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber, such as Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B6, and Vitamin C, iron, calcium, magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, and zinc.

The escalating demand for OFSPs worldwide is fueled by their remarkable health benefits for all, particularly young children and women. Scientific studies indicate that daily consumption of OFSPs can fulfill the daily Vitamin A requirements naturally. Besides, it helps in maintaining a strong immune system, healthy eyesight, robust gut health, promoting brain function, curing internal and external inflammations, treating bronchitis, preventing stomach ulcers and cancer, preventing dehydration and helping in controlling diabetes.
