sweet potato- full of starches

So like the apple, I decided to add iodine when viewing a sweet potato. The results shown below explain why the food is beneficial for our body!

The dark and blue colors shown are all starch contained inside a sweet potato. However, these starches are actually called resistant starches because they aren't fully broken down. 
The intestinal bacteria in our body actually change this into short-chain fatty acids, which can lead to less blood fats, less release of insulin, better digestion, and much more!
