Sweet potatoes, native to Central and South America, are a versatile and nutritious root vegetable often enjoyed cooked by baking, boiling, steaming, or roasting. Rich in vitamins and minerals, cooked sweet potatoes are an excellent source of vitamin A in the form of beta-carotene, which supports healthy vision and immune function. They also provide vitamin C, potassium, and fiber, promoting digestive health and heart wellness. While naturally sweet, they have a low glycemic index compared to regular potatoes, making them a better option for blood sugar regulation. Sweet potatoes are a staple in cuisines worldwide, from American soul food to Asian dishes, often paired with spices or served in both savory and sweet recipes. While typically healthy, preparation methods like frying in oil or adding excess sugar can diminish their nutritional value. Enjoy them simply cooked for a nutrient-packed addition to any meal!
