In southern Fujian, Huian is known as the "hometown of sweet potatoes" because of its rich production. However, tracing back to the birthplace of sweet potato, we will find that sweet potato was originally called "Fanke" by Minnan people. The sweet potato, which originated in America, was first brought back to Europe from America by Columbus in 1492 and then introduced to Africa through the Portuguese. Soon after, the mother of sweet potato was brought to Asia from the Pacific Islands by ocean-going ships, and sweet potato began to "multiply" on all continents of the world. In the eyes of chefs, sweet potatoes are good ingredients for cooking, while in the eyes of Chinese medicine, sweet potatoes are a rare Chinese herbal medicine. As far as the dietotherapy efficacy of sweet potato is concerned, it has been mentioned in ancient documents such as Compendium of Materia Medica and Addendum of Compendium of Materia Medica. Sweet potato has the efficacy of "tonifying deficiency, invigorating qi, strengthening spleen and stomach, and strengthening kidney yin", which makes people "live longer and have fewer diseases". From the point of view of traditional Chinese medicine, sweet potato not only has the functions of invigorating spleen and qi, moistening intestines and relaxing bowels, promoting fluid production and quenching thirst, but also plays an auxiliary role in diet therapy for diseases such as deficiency of middle qi, shortness of breath, fatigue, lack of food, thirst and dry throat.

Because it contains a variety of nutrients, such as carotene, vitamins, iron, calcium and other minerals, sweet potato has been hailed as a cheap and delicious "talinum" by nutrition experts. In the eyes of nutritionists, sweet potato not only has the function of moistening intestines, but also can reduce fat absorption, at the same time, it can increase satiety and reduce appetite, and it is also a natural "good prescription" for losing weight and intellectual fit. With the addition of sweet potato powder, the fragrant soup head becomes crystal clear, scooping up soup-shaped dough, and all kinds of added meat ingredients are clearly visible. When you take a bite, the ingredients "explode" in your mouth like fireworks, and the aroma is overflowing. And through the layers of aroma, you can also taste the soft Q taste of sweet potato powder. Between the lips and teeth, the slightly chewy "pink heart" is even more surprising, and the endless aftertaste makes people want to turn into a "big stomach king" so that they can swallow a pot of rice balls in front of them.
