Sweet Potato Egypt

Sweet potato is a starchy, tuberous crop from the perennial dicotyledonous plant Ipomoea batatas. The sweet potato is a member of the morning glory family, Convolvulaceae. The sweet potato is native to Central and South America, and is widely cultivated for its edible, starchy, tuberous roots. Sweet potatoes are a good source of dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and beta carotene. They are also a good source of manganese, potassium, and copper. Sweet potatoes can be baked, boiled, mashed, fried, or roasted. They can also be used in pies, cakes, and other desserts.
