Both sweet and white potatoes belong to the same botanical order (Solanales) but they come from different families. Sweet potatoes hail from the morning glory family (Convolvulaceae) while white potatoes are relatives of the deadly nightshade, a.k.a belladonna (family Solanaceae). Other famous (and infamous) nightshades include: datura (Jimson weed), mandrake, capsicum (paprika, chili pepper), tobacco, tomato, eggplant and petunia. Yams, of course, are even more distantly related and are cousins of the grasses and lilies.

In addition, sweet potatoes contain high amounts of potassium and vitamin A. One medium sweet potato provides your body with all the vitamin A you need and then some.

This can help stabilize the appetite for hours as opposed to the temporary satisfaction that comes with most other carbohydrates. It also is a cofactor in enzymes that play an important role in the generation of energy as well as the efficient utilization of antioxidants. It is used for the treatment of anemia and is useful as a treatment for several premenstrual symptoms. Sweet potatoes are also rich in vitamins C and E. These are potent antioxidant vitamins that play an important role in disease prevention and longevity. Both vitamins also play a huge role in the health and beauty of your skin and hair, making them popular supplements. The combination of beta-carotene, vitamin E and vitamin C in one food contributes to a healthy, glowing complexion and great hair.
