Sweet potatoes
Q. The food search entry shows “sweet potatoes, cooked, candied,....” Does “candied” mean baked until it seems to bleed a sugary syrup? (That’s how my wife like to prepare them.)
Q. Any tips for finding the nutritional values of baked sweet potato skins? (No adhering flesh.)

I googled 'sweet potato skin nutrition.' According to myfitnesspal, 2 oz of just the skin is 72 calories, 15 mg sodium, and 300 mg potassium. 0 fat, 15 grams carb, 3 grams fiber, 1 gram protein.
I can't tell how accurate this information is.

That’s better info than I’ve been able to find, so thanks again and it’s what I’ll go with. I like the potassium number, seems that that’s one of - if not - the hardest targets to reach in my daily quest for Vits and Mins...

sweet potatoes don't ought to take a long term to prepare. reducing them into half of-inch slices and short Steaming them for just 7 mins now not most effective brings out their wonderful taste however allows to maximize their dietary value. And you may upload cinnamon, nutmeg, and/or cloves for extra taste and vitamins.
