Vitamin A Rich Food #10: Sweet Potato

In just one cup of cubed sweet potato, there is 18,869 IU of vitamin A. A large, 180 gram sweet potato baked with the skin intact contains 1730 micrograms of vitamin A. It is recommended that adult men consume 900 micrograms of vitamin A daily and women require 700 micrograms. One large sweet potato can fulfill 100 percent of the recommended daily amount.

Since vitamin A is fat-soluble, it is recommended to be eating with a rich source of dietary fat in order to be absorbed in the intestines. Consider baking or mashing the sweet potato with some olive oil and salt and serving it with a side of chicken or beef.
