Sweet potato

Quick verdict

Status: OK

Concern

1. Skin/body reactions
Sweet potato is high in beta-carotene. Eating a lot of orange foods like sweet potato, pumpkin, carrot, papaya, or mango can sometimes make the skin look slightly yellow-orange, especially palms/soles. This is called carotenoderma/carotenemia and is usually harmless and reversible when intake is reduced.
