Sweet potatoes are nutrient-dense root vegetables that belong to the morning glory family. Native to Central and South America, they are now a versatile staple in cuisines worldwide—ranging from hearty stews in African cooking to baked desserts in the American South. Packed with vitamins, sweet potatoes are especially rich in vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), which supports eye health and immune function. They also contain vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and antioxidants, making them beneficial for heart health and digestion. Their natural sweetness provides a satisfying flavor while being low in fat. Sweet potatoes have a moderate glycemic index, meaning they can help manage blood sugar levels when eaten in moderation. Whether roasted, mashed, or baked, they are a wholesome addition to a balanced diet, offering energy and essential nutrients. However, toppings like butter and sugar can add calories, so mindful preparation is encouraged.
