Sweet potatoes contain no fat and sodium. Sweet potatoes are harvested in August-October and are available in supermarkets year-round available. Many transactions they make on Thanksgiving and Christmas. There are two varieties of sweet potatoes, the bright yellow flesh with a dry and dark orange with a moist flesh. The dark orange variety is plumper in shape and somewhat sweeter than the yellow variety.
