Date: January 22, 2013 10:43PM I wouldn't recommend dehydrated potatoes of any variety. For me, both taste and texture go beyond awful. Re: sweet potato

Date: January 23, 2013 12:03AM I like to cut them into thin julienne strips and eat them as is; they are generally pleasantly floral tasting and slightly sweet. I also cook them, obviously. Re: sweet potato

Date: January 23, 2013 12:28AM If you cut a sweet potato and leave it raw but don't eat the whole thing, you can preserve what's left by keeping it in the fridge while submerged in water. I think it will last a few days maybe even a week. Re: sweet potato

Date: January 23, 2013 10:20AM Yeah, sweet potatoes are OK. Just remember that if you start to feel joint problems (like on the knee, shoulder, etc), consider stoping the sweet potatoes for like three days and the pain will go away. They are very high on oxalates (form crystals). Re: sweet potato

They are very high on oxalates (form > crystals). Interesting. Thanks.. I have been having some joint problems and I thought a sweet potato would help but obviously, it was the wrong carb! I need to find some healthy carbs... but nothing too much sugar. I workout alot as you know and I am not sure if I injured myself with too little carbs. Honestly, if I could just eat vegetables and some plant protein, I would be happy. Is low carb ok? Like under 50 grams per day? Re: sweet potato

Sweet potatoes aren't that high in oxalates, not as compared to leafy greens, for example. I hold that these foods, because they are also very nutritious, are not the things to eliminate in the case of joint problems. Rather, the stuff that actually causes general unwellness is what should be eliminated: animal products, and possibly grains, depending on one's tolerance. Re: sweet potato

Date: January 23, 2013 03:34PM this seems to be a good table of oxalates in foods
[www.ohf.org] Many people are OK eating high oxalates. I guess it depends on the individual. Re: sweet potato

I do not tolerate grains at all, and havent eaten any in a really long time. Sorry, only registered users may post in this forum.
