Food for Thought: Sweet potatoes are a versatile vegetable Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Feb. 3, 2015 @ 12:01 am Posted Feb. 3, 2015 @ 12:01 am » Social News TIP OF THE WEEK If you’re looking for a little variety to spice up your life, cooking with a versatile veggie such as the sweet potato may give your menu the satisfying kick you crave, along with a healthy dose of the nutrients your body needs. Unlike many vegetables with a peak season that comes and goes, sweet potatoes can be found at your local grocery store year round with a consistent quality and freshness. Because they are available fresh, canned or frozen, sweet potatoes offer the ultimate flexibility for healthy and delicious menu options at any meal. With virtually no fat and low in sodium, sweet potatoes, or yams, fit perfectly into a low-carb lifestyle, with major nutritional bonuses to boot. In addition to being a source of vitamin B-6, iron, potassium and fiber, the sweet potato provides twice the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A and more than one-third of the requirements for vitamin C. Sweet potatoes also rank significantly lower than white potatoes in the glycemic index, which explains why many carb-counting diets encourage substituting sweet potatoes for white potatoes. — More Content Now NUMBER TO KNOW 53: Did you know that the average American eats 53 pounds of bread per year?

Orchid Answer at bottom of rail. WORD TO THE WISE proofing: Proofing is the formal name for the process that happens when you let dough rise.
