Is a sweet potato a vegetable?

Answer 1

Potatoes are a root vegetable. They are a starchy vegetable. I'm guessing that your question is diet related. So, in a balanced meal, you would not have a starchy vegetable AND a grain, you would have one or the other. Potatoes are good for you. Their skin has a decent amount of fiber. Starch is not a bad word. Enjoy.

Answer 2

No. Sweet Potatoes taste nearly nothing like any other kind of potatoes, especially the typical white or russet potatoes you buy from the grocery store. True to their name, sweet potatoes are sweet. They are best when baked like a regular potato, then sliced in half. Cut slits in each half and put on some butter and brown sugar.

Answer 3

well, "starch" is not a food category, and sweet potatoes, similar to potatoes, fall under the category of vegetables. all in all, the sweet potato can be considered both a vegetable and starch.
