Growing Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes are commonly passed over in peoples diets. Most of the time this is because most people are unaware of how to prepare them. However they provide a large nutritional value and a low glycemic index rating. They are high in vitamin A and C, which makes them great for meeting your daily recommended intake.

Sweet potatoes can be prepared in a variety of ways. Most people don't even realize these potatoes are on the table during thanksgiving, showing up as sweet potato pie or candied yams. Although these are great recipes, there are so many other ways to utilize this vegetable. A great book to consider purchasing that offers literally 100 different ways to prepare sweet potato is the Sweet Potato Cookbook.

When sweet potatoes are compared to regular white potatoes you will find that sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index because they have less starch and more complex carbohydrates. Making them a great alternative to white potatoes. You can make sweet potato fries easily at home by purchasing a small fryer You can add extra pop to them by shaking on a little cayenne pepper and some kosher salt. They are normally a huge hit.

A jumbo potato cutter is a definite want if you find yourself liking fries. This makes for cutting potatoes in general an easy task. Another great trick is tossing the potato in the microwave for a minute first before cutting. This leaves the sweet potato firm but not quite as rock hard.

Give sweet potatoes a chance in your kitchen. Your kids may even find that they love this sweet orange tuber.
