NATIONAL COOK A SWEET POTATO DAY
The sweet potato is one of the hidden, golden, super-food jewels that we often seem to ignore. They are tasty, sweet, orange “tuberous roots” that aren’t actually potatoes and come from a different family of roots (morning glory). Sweet potatoes contain a higher content of fibre and less starch than regular potatoes, but also contain more sugar. How will you indulge in this tasty, healthy veggie today? Baked, topped with a dollop of sour cream and chives, or cinnamon and brown sugar? Sweet potato fries or breakfast cubes topped with a sprinkle of Himalayan pink salt and chives? Or sweet potato casserole or yams? However you choose to enjoy, cook a sweet potato today!
