Sweet Potato is a traditional american vegetable. It is a good source of vitamin C – the yellow variety is also rich in vitamin A. It has a sweet chestnut-like flavour. Usually peeled after cooking, it can be cooked as an ordinary potato. It can also be added to soups, stews, breads and cakes, due to it’s sweet flavour
