Sweet Potatoes: A Power Food

4 of 8

Sweet Potatoes as Convenience Food 

Want sweet potatoes in a hurry? Look for them in these forms at your grocery store.

1. Fresh-cut:
Whether you like them as cubes or fries, you can find ready-to-cook sweet potatoes in your grocer's refrigerated produce section. (Products shown from Green Giant and Mann's Sunny Shores.)

2. Frozen:
Check your grocer's freezer for ready-to-bake sweet potato fries. (Products shown from McCain, Alexis, and Ian's.)

3. Microwavable:
Several companies offer sweet potatoes in shrink-wrapped convenience. Just cook them for 4-6 minutes in your microwave and add your favorite low-fat toppings. (Products shown from Green Giant.)

4. Chips:
Get sweet potato chips in a bag for a crunchy, on-the-go treat. (Products shown from Seneca.)
