I usually avoid potatoes in my diet because of its high carbohydrate content. But sometimes, proportionate consumption of potatoes are also required to give our body a complete and balanced nutrition.

I chose sweet potatoes over other regular potatoes because these sweet potatoes are high in vitamin B6 and a good source of vitamin C. This vegetable also contains iron and most importantly Vitamin D which we in Seattle, WA, always lack due to less sunlight most of the year.
