sweet potato peel

When I first took a look at the peel under the microscope, what fascinated me the most was that the purple pigment of the sweet potato was actually not covering each cell but rather, surrounded them.

As seen in these pictures, sweet potatoes are generally known to be composed of fibers and different types of vitamins. Here the peel has numerous fibers covering the purple pigment which surround each cell.This shows that while we tend to discard the outer layer before consuming the golden body, there are significant reasons to why you should also add the peels to your meal.
