Hello everyone,
Lately I've been learning a lot about the glycemic index, as a diabetic, I'm still learning to make myself healthier. I know a lot of things, including foods I can eat without having to worry about raising my blood sugar. I'm trying to find out the ingredients of a food, the main thing is raw materials. Like rice, sweet potatoes, yams, cassava, potatoes, oats and others, I got a lot of facts, including the glycemic index.

Of all the ingredients I mentioned above, I got the fact that sweet potatoes are a very good type of food for diabetics. Sweet potatoes are a type of food that is high in fiber which is good for diabetes, this can help reduce blood sugar resistance to insulin. Sweet potatoes also have more natural sugars than potatoes, but have fewer calories, which is why sweet potatoes are better consumed by diabetics than potatoes.

Not only for diabetics, sweet potatoes are also very good for those who want to prevent this degenerative disease, apart from being a natural sugar which is low in calories and high in fiber, there are many kinds of benefits of sweet potatoes, namely as a source of anti-oxidants, high in vitamin C and potassium, for it is good for the heart and other organs of the body.

I became more interested in and I consumed them as the main food ingredient to fulfill my daily carbohydrates because sweet potatoes are very easy to find in various markets; traditional market or supermarket, the price is cheaper than rice or wheat and also the continuation of this food will be maintained, because many agricultures still make sweet potato the main commodity.

Sweet potatoes are also very easy to process into food, their sweet taste can be used as a dessert or main menu, for example today I made sweet potatoes as the main meal for lunch. I want to combine the sweet potato with the chickpeas that I bought from the supermarket last week. Seeing the many posts in the plant power community that use chickpeas as the main ingredients. I get chickpeas at a fairly cheap price and quality.

I soaked the chickpeas overnight, before going to bed I took 1 liter of water with a handful of chickpeas. Then in the morning I noticed that it had expanded a little but it was still firm when squeezed. Immediately I boiled it for 30 minutes and peeled off the epidermis. I store it in the refrigerator with a container filled with leftover boiled water.
