Sweet potatoes are versatile root vegetables native to Central and South America, now beloved worldwide. A small sweet potato is packed with essential nutrients, including vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), vitamin C, fiber, potassium, and antioxidants. This naturally sweet tuber is a staple in many cuisines, from African and Caribbean to Southern American dishes, often roasted, mashed, or baked. Its deep orange flesh signifies high levels of beta-carotene, which supports eye health and immune function. Sweet potatoes are also low in fat and sodium, making them a heart-healthy addition to meals. However, they are naturally higher in carbohydrates and sugars compared to white potatoes, so portion control is key, especially for those monitoring blood sugar. Enjoyed in both savory and sweet recipes, the small sweet potato is a nutrient-rich food that fits into a variety of balanced diets.
