Overview
Florida sweet potatoes are harvested primarily in fall (roughly September-November); like most root vegetables they store well, so they often remain reasonably priced for months after local harvest even once technically “out of season.”
Nutrition notes
A useful budget-friendly source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, and beta carotene; contributes some Iron as well.
