Taters for Tots Photo Contest
Do your kids love sweet potatoes? I sure hope they do. Sweet potatoes are a great first food for babies and a great vegetable to add to a growing child’s diet because they provide many of the vitamins and minerals that are needed for child development. And with naturally occurring sugars, sweet potatoes are a no-brainer for kids!- Beta carotene helps develop kids’ peepers to keep them healthy and sharp
- Vitamin C boosts their immune systems to fight off colds and flus and it also helps heal wounds like scrapes and bruises
- Iron helps carry oxygen to ever cell of the body to keep them in tip-top shape
- Potassium keeps their little hearts pumping hard and maintains muscle strength
- Fiber keeps bellies full and satisfied, it also reuglates digestion
-
Complex carbohydrates are the ultimate source of energy for active little munchkins
