Sweet Potato Slips &

Elephant Garlic

Sweet Potatoes are high in Fiber, Calcium, Vitamins (A,C & D), Potassium, Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5), Niacin (Vitamin B3), Vitamin B6, Manganese, Magnesium, and Copper. They get their orange color from Beta-Carotene, which is a Pigment and Antioxidant. Sweet Potatoes also contain a modest but helpful amount of Protein — around four grams per cup when cooked.

Elephant Garlic is a perennial plant belonging to the Onion Genus. It is not a true garlic, but actually a variant of the Garden Leek. It has a tall, solid, flowering stalk and broad, flat leaves much like those of the leek, but forms a bulb consisting of very large, garlic-like cloves. Its bulbs contain organic thiosulfinate compounds such as diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulfide and allyl propyl disulfide. Upon disruption of the bulb (while crushing, cutting, etc.), these compounds convert into allicin through an enzymatic reaction. Garlic is an excellent source of minerals and vitamins that are essential for optimum health. The bulbs are one of the richest sources of Potassium, Iron, Calcium, Magnesium, Manganese, Zinc, and Selenium. Selenium is a heart-healthy mineral and is an essential cofactor for antioxidant enzymes within the body. The human body uses manganese as a co-factor for the antioxidant enzyme, superoxide dismutase. Iron is essential for red blood cell formation.
