If you like sweet potatoes, you like a calcium-rich vegetable. A cup of sweet potatoes has 180 calories, but it also has 76 mg of calcium. For that matter, it is also high in iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, manganese, and vitamins A, C, B6, thiamin, riboflavin, and niacin. This is a high carb vegetable, however.
My favorite of all on your list Rex. Sorry I cannot upvote.
I know a lot of people who feel the same way that you do, particularly if they grew up in the south. I’m in regular potato country and sweet potatoes don’t grow well here.
I did not realize that about sweet potatoes. They are divine with butter and brown sugar!
I like them baked with butter, brown sugar, and marshmallows on top. It is a side dish we have each year on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
