Which is the healthiest: sweet or common potato?

At first, it seems easier to give the advantage to sweet potatoes, since it has a lower glycemic index, which means that the carbohydrates that compose it take longer to enter the bloodstream in the form of glucose.

Sweet potatoes would be more suitable for those who have diabetes or want to lose weight. It turns out that, in the question of nutrients, who takes advantage is the common potato. It is rich in essential minerals such as iron, magnesium and potassium. It also overcomes the amount of protein and phosphorus. In addition, the common potato guarantees 25% of the vitamin C we need per day.

Result? Technical draw. One potato is not better than the other. Both complement each other.
