Fresh sweet potatoes sold in a convenient 5-pound bag. These nutrient-dense root vegetables feature vibrant orange flesh rich in beta-carotene and a naturally sweet flavor that becomes even more pronounced when cooked. Sweet potatoes are versatile and can be baked, boiled, roasted, mashed, or used in both savory and sweet recipes.

A medium sweet potato (approximately 2 inches in diameter and 5 inches in length) baked with skin provides about 100 calories, 25g carbohydrates, 4g fiber, and 2g protein with virtually no fat. Sweet potatoes deliver over 100% of the daily recommended amount of vitamin A, 30% of vitamin C, plus significant amounts of potassium (440mg), magnesium (54mg), and manganese. The high beta-carotene content supports eye health and immune function, while the fiber content aids digestive health. Purple varieties contain anthocyanins with additional antioxidant properties.

Store sweet potatoes in a cool, dry place with good airflow for up to one to two weeks. Do not refrigerate unless cooked. Wash only before use to prevent moisture-related spoilage.
