A sweet potato is the perfect produce pick for this winter season! The deep orange skin, along with the moist flesh, creates an outstanding sweet flavor. Sweet potatoes are an excellent source of beta-carotene, the carotenoid containing the most vitamin A activity. Acting as an antioxidant, beta-carotene is known to play a role in eyesight, prevention of lung cancer, and even reducing the risk for heart disease. Not only do sweet potatoes provide nutritional benefits – it is also extremely versatile! Sweet potatoes can be roasted, boiled, and/or pureed to create a delicious dish.
