We don’t know why sweet potatoes aren’t even more loved than white potatoes. They are so much cooler! First, they taste better. Second, they’re bright orange! Who doesn’t love orange food? We eat orange foods like sweet potatoes, carrots, and pumpkins because they’re full of beta-carotene and other vitamins and minerals to help our bodies stay healthy and strong.
We like to use sweet potatoes in a lot of our recipes because they’re tasty, but we think you’ll especially love them this way because it’s like having dessert for dinner!
