The orange-fleshed sweet potato, in particular, is a rich source of beta-carotene, which is converted to vitamin A in the body.
There are many different varieties of sweet potatoes, including orange-fleshed, white-fleshed and purple-fleshed varieties.
How Sweet Potatoes Are Grown
Sweet potatoes are grown from sprouts called “slips,” which are cuttings from mature sweet potato vines.
Farmers plant these slips in well-drained, sandy soil in warm climates.
The plants need full sun, regular watering and space to spread as they grow into sprawling vines.

After about 90-170 days, the sweet potatoes are ready for harvest.
Farmers carefully dig them up, cure them in warm, humid conditions for a few weeks to enhance sweetness, and then store them in a cool, dry place for long-term use.
