Thanks to Tim Maurer, (CEO) of Global Institute for Transformation, for introducing the SWEET POTATO plant to us as a way to help in the alleviation of hunger. They recommend the Orange-flesh Sweet Potato variety. They support a couple of organizations in Malawi and in Haiti that have been benefiting from this plant. Below are the nutritional benefits posted on the GIFT website.

THE IDEAL CROP FOR NUTRITION,  ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND CLIMATE
If you could focus on making a global impact by growing just one crop and improving its yield such that it would provide the world with starvation protection, improved health and economic benefits, you would want to focus on advancing the production and harvest of the sweet potato

THE IDEAL CROP FOR NUTRITION,  ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, AND CLIMATE
Sweet potatoes contain high-quality protein, similar to that found in eggs, and are packed with nutrients, including high levels of carotenoids (especially beta-carotene), copper, vitamins C and E, and fiber. What's more, sweet potatoes are much lower on the glycemic index scale than white potatoes. That means that even carbohydrate-sensitive people and diabetics can include these good carbs in their diets
