Sweet Potatoes

Nutrition Information:

Sweet Potatoes are delicious and nutritious. They contain high amounts of Vitamins A, C, and B6, as well as being a great source of fiber, antioxidants, manganese, copper, potassium, Niacin, and Pantothenic acid. They support gut health, promote healthy vision, and help enhance brain function.

Storage Tips:

Sweet Potatoes should be stored in a cool, dry, dark area such as a pantry or basement. You should avoid putting sweet potatoes in the fridge. Raw sweet potatoes will not hold up well in the freezer, so you should blanch or fully cook before freezing. Wash right before use.
