Steamed Sweet Potatoes

We usually give steamed sweet potatoes to our dog as breakfast together with oats, not every day as we always give a variation so he doesn’t get bored with the same food every day.

Sweet potatoes are commonly used as an acceptable filler source - one that normally doesn’t cause stomach upset or other digestion problems.  Sweet potatoes have much more nutrition than regular potatoes.  They're rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory nutrients, and are classified as an anti-diabetic food.  They received this title because animal studies have found that sweet potatoes help stabilize blood sugar levels and lower insulin resistance. They contain vitamin A which also protects against emphysema.  The notable Nutrients are Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Manganese, Copper, Fiber, Vitamin B6, Potassium, Iron.  

Sweet potatoes are full of starch so weight-gain is a possibility if too much is fed.  Since we don’t feed our dog sweet potatoes every day, he is so far maintaining his weight well.

We only use Japanese Sweet Potatoes because they are so much tastier even though they are more expensive, and remember how much we emphasize on quality?  Our sweet potatoes are fresh and carefully peeled before cooking so you do not have to worry that the skin of the sweet potato could contain harmful chemicals if moldy.  They are also steamed instead of boiled so the taste n nutrients do not go to the water. 

The sweet potatoes are cooled and packed into zip-lock bags for freezing.  Using zip-lock bags not only preserves the freshness but also makes thawing easier. 

 

It is recommended to be consumed within 2-3 weeks to ensure freshness.

Defrost, microwave or steam it and serve.  It can be served cool, at room temperature or warm depending on your dog's preference.  =)
