Smart Shopping Tips
- Look for sweet potatoes that feel heavy for their size and have no bruises, soft spots or sign of sprouting. Handle them gently; they bruise easily.
- Store sweet potatoes in a cool, dark place for up to a week. Do not refrigerate.
- Sweet potatoes are not true “yams,” even though it is a common name.
- To save time, use frozen, shredded sweet potatoes.
- Enjoy for breakfast with eggs and fruit or as a side dish with dinner.
- Add a pinch or two of cinnamon or nutmeg for additional flavor.
