twice as much starch-susar as the

il costs more. il has more nutrition
per cost than the white.
Possibly the ideal way to cook the
sweet potato is 10 bake II, as then
there is the least loss and the flavor
becomes most perfect when the po-
tato is dry. and not soggy, as from
boiling. But there are other moro
