Tomorrow is Thanksgiving here in the USA.  One of our traditional dishes served alongside the turkey dinner is sweet potatoes.  Whether you make them roasted or mashed, or serve them in a pie for dessert, sweet potatoes are one of the most nutritious vegetables you can eat.  They are an excellent source of both vitamins A and C, they’re full of dietary fiber, vitamin B6, potassium, and iron.  Despite the “sweet” in their name, sweet potatoes help stabilize blood sugar levels and lower insulin resistance.  Sweet potatoes are also good for your liver.  And they are delicious!  Do you have a favorite sweet potato recipe?  Or another dish you love to make for the holiday?
