The sweet potato is a native American plant and, despite it's name, is not related to the potato. It was brought back to Spain by Christopher Columbus in 1492 and introduced to African lands by the Portuguese. They are cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical regions and need abundant sunshine to grow.
As the name suggests, sweet potatoes have a sweet flavour and are moist when cooked. Incredibly versatile, they can be steamed, baked, boiled, microwaved, roasted or fried.
Serving Suggestion Enjoy baked with butter, salt & pepper.

Recipe Ideas:
Sweet Potato Brown Rice Wash 300g rice well until the water runs clear. Add to a pan with 700ml water and 400g unpeeled sweet potato chunks (about 1.5cm). Bring to the boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and place a lid on the pan. Cook on a low heat for another 20-25 minutes, or until all the water has evaporated, the sweet potato is tender and the rice cooked.
