Recipe for Heavenly Yam Delight

(Family Features) - It may not be as hard as you think to get kids to eat more veggies. Sweet Potatoes are naturally sweet and delicious, so you don't have to disguise them and trick your kids into enjoying healthier foods. Sweet potatoes, sometimes called yams, are loaded with nutrition:

• Sweet potatoes have more vitamin A than any other vegetable. Vitamin A is necessary for strong tissues and maintaining a healthy immune system.

• The sweet potato is a complex carbohydrate that contains more than one-third the recommended daily requirements of vitamin C.

• Potassium in sweet potatoes also helps maintain fluid and electrolyte balance in the body cells, as well as normal heart and nerve functions.

By adding Louisiana Sweet Potatoes (both fresh and canned) to your kids' diet, you're boosting their nutrition and helping them learn healthy eating habits. Because they're available year-round, it's easy to incorporate sweet potatoes into any meal, from breakfast to dessert.
