Many of us like sweet potatoes and they are easily available all year round. This starchy and sweet root vegetable belongs to the Convolvulaceae family and native to the South America. Sweet potatoes come in different varieties and their colors vary from white, cream, yellow, orange, pink, or deep purple. These different colored sweet potatoes are also nutritionally different from one another.
