Its notable tubers boast a tender, sweet, and subtly perfumed flesh, often served as a delightful complement to various meat dishes. Additionally, they can be transformed into delectable desserts, such as the beloved sweet potato pie. These versatile tubers are available in fresh form or conveniently canned. In the case of canned sweet potatoes, they can be mashed with butter and milk, sweetened, and infused with delightful spices, ultimately serving as a delectable filling for pies or tarts.
