Even the back or skin has value...
Hmm,
Today at Sayedero market, my friend asked for sweet potato flour, not just the flesh, but the skin too! I was really surprised when she said it makes better elubo than yam.
Even the seller confirmed that It’s sweet and smooth, that I should try it!”
And it hit me…
Animals eat everything, no waste.
But we humans?
We throw away the most nourishing parts.
Sweet potato skin is rich in fiber, antioxidants, and healing nutrients and it aids digestion, balances sugar, and boosts the gut.
Let’s stop wasting health in the name of habit.
Explore your food, and embrace the whole.
Elubo didùn, àyàfi kó mọ̀ pé ẹ̀yìn rẹ̀ náà ló ní ìwòsàn.
Sweetness isn't only in the flesh but the back holds healing too.
