Do you like pumpkin? Than, you’ll love sweet potatoes.
Sweet potatoes are an incredible substitute for pumpkin – one I like a whole lot better.
Why?
- Sweet potatoes are naturally sweeter than pumpkin, meaning you can significantly reduce the sweetener in your favorite fall dish!
- Sweet potatoes are high in fiber (3x that of pumpkin).
- Sweet potatoes have 4x the amount of Vitamin A than pumpkins.
- Sweet potatoes have 3x the amount of Vitamin C than pumpkins.
- Sweet potatoes have more calcium & iron than pumpkins.
And, sweet potatoes are easy to prepare – making puree from scratch rather than canned pumpkin.
Best part yet – you won’t even taste the difference in your cooking.
