Though traditionally enjoyed as a Thanksgiving side dish, the surprising health benefits and naturally sweet taste of sweet potato can be added to meals throughout the year thanks to Drum-dried Sweet Potato offerings from Van Drunen Farms.
The sweet potato, native to Central America, is rich in dietary fiber, which helps promote healthy digestion. It is also high in beta carotene (vitamin A), a source of vitamin E, and virtually fat-free.
Both sweet and savory, sweet potato pairs well with cinnamon, honey and nutmeg and can be added to baked deserts, breads, puddings, casseroles, stews and croquettes.
Drum-drying sweet potato produces a high-quality dried product which reconstitutes immediately, and retains its flavor, color and nutritional value.
