I think we should celebrate sweet potatoes while they are in the peak of their season. Although they are a traditional holiday favorite, why not enjoy the great taste and nutrients of sweet potatoes throughout the year? Rich in beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamin C, and vitamin B6, sweet potatoes provide you with powerful antioxidant protection against damage to cellular structures and DNA.
