About Boniato
Boniato, also known as Cuban sweet potato, is a root vegetable popular in Caribbean, Latin American, and Asian cuisines. It has a mildly sweet, nutty flavor and a starchy texture, falling somewhere between a white potato and traditional orange sweet potato. Boniato is rich in fiber, complex carbohydrates, and essential nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, making it a healthy energy source that supports immunity and heart health. Compared to white potatoes, it has a lower glycemic index, which can help manage blood sugar levels. Its reddish skin and creamy white flesh are versatile and can be baked, boiled, mashed, or fried. However, like all starchy foods, its calorie content can add up if prepared with large amounts of oil or sugar. Naturally gluten-free, boniato can be an excellent addition to a balanced diet.
