Sensational Sweet Potato Recipes
North Carolina has been ranked the top sweet potato grower in the U.S. since 1971. We’ve always been fond of candied yams (a starchy type of sweet potato – not technically yams) and sweet potato pie at Thanksgiving. When sweet potato fries started sidling up to our burgers, we opened our minds to sweet potato potential.
After all, they provide 300 percent of our daily requirement of vitamin A and about one-third of our daily vitamin C. Nutritionists encourage us to pair about a teaspoon of butter with a sweet potato to help our bodies absorb all of those vitamins. Butter rounds out the delicate, almost nutty, slightly sweet flavor. Sweet potatoes are high in fiber, low in calories, contain no fat and taste delicious. What’s not to love?
