Sweet for Sweet Potatoes


Sweet Potatoes are not only tasty but they have some great health benefits...
  They are high in Vitamin B6, have Vitamin c, Vitamin D, potassium, iron and magnesium.
  They are high in beta carotene which ward off cancer & protect the body from aging.
  Their natural sugars are released slowly into the bloodstream.
  They are versatile; they can be baked, roasted, pureed, steamed, or grilled.
