Eat Sweet Potatoes forGood Health!

By Brian K. Rosso, R.D.Sweet potatoes are a great addition

to any meal. I hope you find theinformation in this article informativeand interesting.

• Sweet potatoes can bepurchased year-round.

• In 1920, the average Americanate 31 pounds of sweet potatoesper year. In 2007, the averageAmerican ate 5.3 pounds.

• Forty percent of the sweetpotatoes grown in the UnitedStates come from North Carolina.The crop grows best in warmclimates with plenty of sunshine.

• Most sweet potatoes are grownwithout the addition of anypesticides.

• Individuals living in Taiwanprepare and eat the leaves of thesweet potato plant.

• Street vendors in China sellbaked sweet potatoes to thepublic during the winter months.

• Three-fourths of a cup of sweetpotato provides 155 calories, 0grams of fat, and 3 grams ofprotein. It’s also a great source ofvitamin C, fiber and potassium.

Sweet potatoes are on theAmerican House menu. They areserved baked, mashed or even in apie. Stop by a local American Houseand enjoy some sweet potatoes.

Favorite Frosty TreatsWith a clanging bell or a happy

tune to announce their arrival, icecream trucks have served frozennovelties for generations. Here aresome time-tested favorites:

Ice cream sandwiches. A New YorkCity pushcart peddler is credited withinventing the ice cream sandwich in1899. For a penny, the vendor placeda scoop of vanilla ice cream betweentwo graham wafers, offering a newway to enjoy the frozen treat onthe go.

Popsicles. An 11-year-old Californiaboy named Frank Eppersonaccidentally made culinary history in1905 by leaving a cup of water withpowdered soda and a stirring stickout overnight. The concoction froze,and the popsicle was born. About twodecades later, Epperson sold hispatent for the “frozen drink on astick,” and it took off acrossthe country.

Ice cream bars. In 1920, a youngboy walked into the Iowa shop ofChristian Kent Nelson and couldn’tdecide whether to spend his nickel onice cream or a chocolate bar. SoNelson began working on a way tocombine the two, and after weeks ofwork, he created the chocolate-coated ice cream bar.
