So you think this is just a Thanksgiving food! Well, that's really how I always thought of sweet potatoes, but no more! I may very well become the sweet potato advocate for the southern region. I decided to check into this vegetable to see just what nutritional values it has. Wow! Rich in Vitamins A and C with protein, manganese, copper, potassium, iron, Vitamin B6, and fiber, this little bundle of goodness has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. And the deeper the color of orange, the better they are for you. And they are so cheap to buy. Which makes them an even better value. So, I will be adding sweet potatoes to my diet weekly, not just once a year. I am sold!
