While eating dinner, my husband and I were talking about eating more vegetables at every meal. I told him sweet potatoes were a veggie, and he thought they weren't one of the best choices. I am finding out sweet potatoes are a great choice, a SUPER FOOD! Hooray!
What's so great about them:
They have naturally occuring sugars
Fiber
Complex Carbohydrates
Protein
Vitamins A and C
Iron
Calcium
Low glycemic index
