Nutrition Tip Sweet potatoes are a great source of vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin B6, fiber, manganese, potassium and several antioxidants. The bright orange pigment in sweet potatoes comes from carotenoids, a group of antioxidants including beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin. One sweet potato provides over 400% of the daily value for vitamin A in the form beta-carotene. This vitamin plays an essential role in vision, bone development, and immune function.
