O2 Fitness Food of the Week: Sweet Potatoes

Sep 23, 2013

Sweet Potatoes are available all year round and are an excellent source of vitamins A and C, potassium and fiber.  Choose potatoes that are small to medium in size with smooth, unbruised skin. Store sweet potatoes in a dry, dark place and they will keep for up to three to four weeks.
