Purple Sweet Potato Dessert
Sweet potato is one of the healthiest foods. Purple sweet potato is said to contain three times the antioxidants of a blueberry.
When buying sweet potatoes look for smooth and skin not bruised. Choose small or medium size and avoid large ones. Sweet potatoes will last up to a month if stored properly. But try to use it within one week. It does not require refrigeration.
Nutrition data for sweet potatoes in the USDA database can be found here.
Sweet potato comes in many colors. Color of the inner part will be different from the outer skin color. Inner flesh color may be white, orange red or purple. The purple variety is the sweetest.
This is a natural dessert with no spices and no condiments. If you want you add a little bit of salt or sugar to enhance the taste. I did not add anything as the natural taste was sufficient to make a tasty dessert.
