Eat Sweet Potatoes forGood Health!

By Brian K. Rosso, R.D.Sweet potatoes are a great addition

to any meal. I hope you find theinformation in this article informativeand interesting.

• Sweet potatoes can bepurchased year-round.

• In 1920, the average Americanate 31 pounds of sweet potatoesper year. In 2007, the averageAmerican ate 5.3 pounds.

• Forty percent of the sweetpotatoes grown in the UnitedStates come from North Carolina.The crop grows best in warmclimates with plenty of sunshine.

• Most sweet potatoes are grownwithout the addition of anypesticides.

• Individuals living in Taiwanprepare and eat the leaves of thesweet potato plant.

• Street vendors in China sellbaked sweet potatoes to thepublic during the winter months.

• Three-fourths of a cup of sweetpotato provides 155 calories, 0grams of fat, and 3 grams ofprotein. It’s also a great source ofvitamin C, fiber and potassium.

Sweet potatoes are on theAmerican House menu. They areserved baked, mashed or even in apie. Stop by a local American Houseand enjoy some sweet potatoes.
