Why Are Sweet Potatoes So Popular?

Because They Are Delicious

Sweet potatoes have become the rising star in American popular food culture. Network television including the Food Network and celebrated chefs are featuring vibrant and innovative recipes featuring diverse cultivars of sweet potatoes. These recipes spotlight the nutritious roots' inherent sweetness instead of drowning them in traditional brown sugar and marshmallows.

Because They Are Nutritious

In 1992, the Center for Science in the Public Interest compared the nutritional value of sweet potatoes to other vegetables. Considering fiber content, complex carbohydrates, protein, vitamins A and C, iron, and calcium, the sweet potato ranked highest in nutritional value. According to these criteria, sweet potatoes earned 184 points, 100 points over the next on the list, the common potato.

Sweet potato varieties with dark orange flesh have more vitamin A than those with light colored flesh.
