What’s all the buzz about sweet potatoes?
Are they really as healthy as you’ve heard?
Russet potatoes often overshadow sweet potatoes, but they have a copper-colored skin that sets them apart. Their flesh is usually a vibrant orange, although when grown in various places around the world, they may have purple, yellow, cream, or white skin or flesh.
Sweet potatoes are also different from yams, although some people use the term to apply to both. They offer vitamin A, vitamin B5, Vitamin C, fiber, and potassium.
If you prepare sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes, make sure the portions are smaller. Sweet potatoes’ glycemic load is high. Most people eat smaller portions of sweet potatoes anyway, as they tend to fill you up more readily.
How are sweet potatoes best stored?

There are SO many ways to prepare them. Read on and learn some of the best ways of preparing sweet potatoes!
