According to Livestorng.com, “You may have wondered if you can eat the skin of baked sweet potatoes. Well, yes you can —and you should! The copper-colored skin that wraps around a whole sweet potato contains most of the healthy vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, including a host of phytochemicals that have protective and disease-preventing properties. Eating the skin of a baked sweet potato will reward you with anti-inflammatory and anticancer benefits from the wealth of nutrients this root vegetable offers.”
