About Sweet potato, canned, mashed
The sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) is a starchy root vegetable with sweet, creamy flesh that ranges from deep orange to white, yellow, and vibrant purple depending on the variety. Despite the shared name it is not closely related to the ordinary potato, belonging instead to the morning glory family. Orange-fleshed types are loaded with beta-carotene, which the body converts into vitamin A, and sweet potatoes also deliver fiber, potassium, vitamin C, and manganese.
Their natural sugars caramelize when roasted or baked, giving a rich, honeyed flavor that shines in both savory and sweet dishes, from fries, wedges, and mashes to pies, casseroles, and holiday classics. The young leaves and shoots are edible too, cooked as nutritious greens in many parts of the world. Note that most canned yams sold in the United States are actually sweet potatoes. Store them in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place rather than the refrigerator, where they keep for several weeks.
