Sweet Potato(Ipomoea Batatas)

Sweet Potato(Ipomoea Batatas) is a crop plant whose large, starchy, sweet-tasting tuberous roots are an important root vegetable. Although the leaves and shoots are also edible, the starchy tuberous roots are by far the most important product. In some tropical areas, they are a staple food-crop. Besides starch, they are rich in dietary fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, and vitamin B6. All cultivars are more-or-less sweet-flavored.
