The sweet potato is a staple food in many tropical countries. Only when cooked or baked does the sweet potato develop its sweet taste – the warmer the weather was when the tuber was growing, the sweeter it tastes. The sweet tuber has many positive properties. It is rich in vitamin C and E, as well as beta-carotene – which protects cells and strengthens the immune system. A positive influence on the fluid balance of the body has the abundant potassium, it has a dehydrating effect and even lowers blood pressure.
Originally, the sweet potato comes from Central and South America. The Spaniards brought them to Europe in the 16th century. The healthy tuber tends to thrive in tropical and subtropical climates. Today, it is cultivated in Europe in Italy, Portugal and Spain.

Preparation of Sweet Potato with Vegetables and Salmon
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into bite-sized pieces, as well as the cauliflower and broccoli – spread all the vegetables on a baking sheet and put it in the oven for 20 minutes at 180 degrees.
Step 2
Prepare the salmon in a pan as you like – in our recipe we seasoned it with sea salt, pepper and oregano. If you are preparing salmon with the skin on, sear the skin side first so that it becomes crispy.
Step 3
Chop the onions and fry them together with the pressed garlic in a little coconut oil in a large pan or wok.
Step 4
Halve or quarter the mushrooms and add to the onions and garlic after steaming. Season everything with a pinch of sea salt and pepper.
