Not only is sweet potato a tasty comfort food, it also has great
nutritional value. In additional to the two
main
vitamins A and C, sweet potatoes have iron, copper, manganese, vitamin
B6, vitamin E, potassium, dietary fiber, and beta-carotene.
Even though sweet potatoes are more popular around the
Thanksgiving holidays,
you can purchase them any season. So with the holidays rapidly
