Sweet potatoes are a great addition to any meal. I hope you find the information in this article informative and interesting. Sweet potatoes can be purchased year-round. In 1920, the average American ate 31 pounds of sweet potatoes per year. In 2007, the average American ate 5.3 pounds. Forty percent of the sweet potatoes grown in the United States come from North Carolina. The crop grows best in warm climates with plenty of sunshine. Most sweet potatoes are grown without the addition of any pesticides. Individuals living in Taiwan prepare and eat the leaves of the sweet potato plant. Street vendors in China sell baked sweet potatoes to the public during the winter months. Three-fourths of a cup of sweet potato provides 155 calories, 0 grams of fat, and 3 grams of protein. It s also a great source of vitamin C, fiber and potassium. Sweet potatoes are on the American House menu. They are served baked, mashed or even in a pie. Stop by a local American House and enjoy some sweet potatoes.
