  • Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of carotenoid antioxidants.
  • They contain calcium, are high in vitamins A and C and contain thiamine.
  • Sweet potatoes are also high in sugar and therefore should be used sparingly.
  • Sweet potatoes are not related to the potato nor the yam— they are actually a member of the morning glory family.
