Oh, sweet, sweet potato! How do we love thee? Let us count the ways!

You are kind to the waist clocking in at a mere 100-ish calories (5% of the Daily Value),

You are helpful to the digestive tract with your 4 grams of fiber (15% of the DV),

Your are considerate of our arteries, keeping them clean so that we can fill our hearts with love instead of fat!

You are a beacon of light with your sweet and vibrant flesh providing 438% of vitamin A to keep our eyes sharp, and those dangerous free radicals that cause cancer far away!

You thoughtfully bring along a little extra vitamin B6 (16%) for energy and Manganese (28%) to keep our metabolisms at peak performance.

You are respectful of our time, taking very little of it to bake in the microwave or oven.

You are versatile, able to be dressed any which way to bring joy to special occasions.

We hate to be racist, but you blow your white cousin out of the oven.
