Sweet potatoes are a favorite side dish, especially during the holidays. Did you know that this common vegetable is a nutritional powerhouse? The Center for Science in the Public Interest gave the sweet potato a high ranking for nutrition among vegetables. Sweet potatoes are a good source of fiber, vitamin C, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, potassium, and beta carotene. Beta carotene, an antioxidant and precursor to vitamin A, gives sweet potatoes their orange pigment. Sweet potatoes are naturally low in sodium.Â
The orange sweet potato is the most popular variety in the United States, particularly in the south. However, some varieties of sweet potatoes are white, red, pink, or purple. The varieties with white or yellow flesh are less sweet and moist than the red, pink, and orange varieties. Â
