The beta-carotene present in sweet potatoes is absolutely sufficient.
I notice that the stainless steel knife I use for chopping them gets this pretty hardcore sheen of orange on the blade, and you have to scrub at it pretty considerably to get it off.
I had been wondering if sweet potatoes alone were a good enough source of the beta-carotene I desire, and I concluded tonight that they absolutely are.

Studies show that people prefer the glow that beta-carotene gives the skin even over the glow that a sun tan can give the skin.
Both are great, but apparently the beta-carotene just gives off the essence of true health.
I was eating a bunch of gourds some years back, and the glow was totally obvious for a few weeks. I was amazed by it.
I haven't noticed that glow from the sweet potatoes I've been eating lately, and that's why I was wondering if they really were a sufficient source.
I may get some butternut squash soon.
