Sweet potatoes are high in nutritional value, an excellent source of fiber, vitamins A and C, iron, potassium and calcium. The darker flesh varieties have more vitamin A and beta-carotene than the lighter varieties. As a bonus, sweet potatoes are relatively low in calories and have no fat or cholesterol.</p><p>Sweet potatoes can be cooked in most of the ways that regular potatoes are. Baked, boiled, or sauted, sweet potatoes are a nutritious dish.</p><p>My favorite sweet potato recipe is a baked sweet potato. Prick the sweet potato all over. Then bake the sweet potato in a moderate oven, or microwave until soft to the touch. When done, moisten with a little crushed pineapple and juice, sprinkle with cinnamon. This is a great meal when watching your calories and fat. No butter needed.
