12 Days of Fitmas!

Mississippi is the proud home to the sweet potato capital of the world, Vardaman, MS. Easy to find in season here in our state; sweet potatoes are a great addition to the dinner table in the wintertime.

Sweet potatoes are rich in fiber, vitamin B-6, vitamin C, and potassium. Did you know that after being cleaned, sweet potatoes' skins are edible and very nutritious?

Sweet potato casserole or candied sweet potatoes are a common fare on holiday tables across the nation, but there are also many other ways to enjoy this sweet tuber. They can be cut into, baked, mashed, or roasted by simply tossing in olive oil, pepper, garlic, and dried thyme or rosemary.
