Sweet Potatoes

About Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are starchy, sweet-tasting tubers with orange or purple flesh.

Sweet potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, and beta-carotene (vitamin A). They also provide vitamins C and B6. However, excessive consumption of fried sweet potato products may have health drawbacks.

Sweet potatoes can be baked, mashed, roasted, or used in pies and casseroles. They offer natural sweetness to dishes.
