Beta-carotene (orange flesh) converts to vitamin A. Fiber supports steady energy.
How to store
Cool, dark, dry pantry. Not the fridge (cold can ruin texture). Don't wash until use.
Food safety
Cook until soft throughout. Refrigerate cooked sweet potato within 2 hours; eat within 3-4 days.
Food hazards
Discard if black, mushy, or moldy. Sprouts/wrinkles are quality cues. Cut away severe damage.
