My geeky science bit...
The sweet potato is simple starches, a complex carbohydrate loaded with fiber and beta-carotene, a pro vitamin A carotenoid. Small amounts of B5, B6, manganese and potassium, lots of calcium, magnesium, when baked higher vitamin C, phosphorous and sodium. Sweet potatoes rank one of the highest in nutritional value. Ground flax seed is high in dietary fiber, lignons, omega 3, fatty acids, lowers cholesterol, flax seed may stunt the growth of some cancers, helps stabilise blood sugars, high in antioxidants.
ZESTY SALSA
1 lime juice and zest is one full days dose of vitamin C. Spring onions are a great antioxidant. Tomatoes reduce liver inflammation. Peppers full of betacarotene, vitamin C, (red A), strong antioxidant, protects heart and immune system, organ and blood cleansing. Chilli in large quantities has vitamin C, carotene, vitamins B, B6, potassium, magnesium, iron. Coriander, heart and circulatory protective coumarins and effective antiseptic linalcol.
INGREDIENTS
(makes around 40 tortilla chips)
1 sweet potato peeled chopped
1 cup of ground flax seed
1 spring onion
1 red chilli
1 lime zested and juice
1 tsp sea salt
lrg pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch garamasala
1 lrg pinch chilli powder
1 tsp crushed chillies
Place all the ingredients in your blender and whizz for a couple of minutes until you have a dough paste, line your work top with some grease proof paper around three foot long, dust half with some ground flax seed, scoop out your sweet potato dough and place on the first third of the baking paper, fold the paper in half over the dough and roll out the dough nice and thin, remove the top sheet of baking baking paper, using a pizza cutter wheel or knife cut the dough into triangle chips, transfer the baking paper with the tortillas on to a baking tray and bake in the oven 150 degrees for around 60 minutes, maybe a hint longer for the centre chips, you want them to be crisp and firm to touch, leave to cool if you can and then dive in.

1 pepper chopped
12 cherry tomatoes diced
1 tbsp coriander chopped
1 red chilli finely diced
