A question about sweet potato's

[paddy155]

Can I peel the skin off them,then wash and eat raw like a carrot etc ?

[gbrice75]

Sounds grotesque.... but i'm sure you could. From what i've read, raw foods contain more nutrients than cooked...

[matt77]

Sure you can. But I would caution you not to eat a whole one at once the first time. You may hate yourself later depending on how good of a gut you have

hahahaha ^
give it ago and see the results otherwise boil or steam them

[POPS]

try wrapping them up in a damp paper towel and throw them in the microwave oven for 4-5 min then peel the skin off when finished. A dash of cinamon and youre set and really tastes good!!

That would be really taking one for the team. Good luck and let us know what it's like.

thats how one member does it... i forgot who. but personally i would leave the skin on, more nutritional benefit.

I was reading up past thread's and I think Musclescience does it.

this is what i do but no cinnamon and i eat the peal as well...just wash it good before you microwave...

do not eat raw potatoes. The spud are poison especially if uncooked. When I eat raw foods I lose weight. I tried it for 6 months. Raw food diet not recommended for bb in my opinion.

Sweet potatoes are fine to eat raw because they are not the the same as regular potatoes. Also eating raw white potatoes is fine too but there is a risk of eating potatoes that are sprouting as they produce a cyanide, Potatoes that have a greenish tinge to them are close to sprouting but should not be eaten.
