Sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes have a low GI rating, correct? How many carbs does one sweet potato provide? Are they healthier than a normal potato?

Yes a little lower GI and a little more fiber then a regular tater. A very good substitute IMO, has about 27-30gr of carbs per 4oz.

A sweet potato is more yellow-golden in the inside.

A yam is the orange inside.

S.P.- 6.7c per ounce
Yam- 8.4c per ounce

Yams are actually lower-GI than sweet potatoes, although I usually think of yams as sweeter. Either way, you're doing yourself a huge favor by eating these; some of the best overall complex carbs you can find!

Anyone have any good recipes for it? I went to Outback Steakhouse a few nights ago, and they use brown sugar, cinnamon, and some butter with it. It was really good. I would probably use something else instead of butter while I'm cutting.

Just add the cinnamon. I sometimes add a little honey or some maple syrup, but never sugar or butter.
 


Peace comes not from the absence of conflict but from the ability to cope with it.

I like to bake them plain, but cooking with some olive oil and cinnamon, maybe some splenda, honey, or sugar free maple syrup would be good.

Splenda, cinnamon, and parkay spray should mimic that quit nicely without the added fat and cals from the butter.

I don't mind sweet potatoes, but I absolutely love chopping baked potatoes and throwing them on the skillet with some garlic and herb seasoning.

I usually just eat them raw, they're all sweet and crunchy and portable. Plus it's fun to watch all the strange looks while you're wandering around eating a sweet potato like a banana.

I get the same thing in my local store. It's called "Express bake sweet potatOH". Good stuff.
