There’s nothing like fresh sweet potatoes from Heinen’s Produce Department.

Baked, mashed, or roasted, this nutrient-rich root vegetable made it onto the “Sweet 16” list of Club Fx-approved veggies because it is rich in antioxidants, potassium, fiber, and vitamins A and C. Its deep orange color says it all!

Besides being a staple side dish on Thanksgiving dinner tables across the country, sweet potatoes can be enjoyed in a variety of ways all year long. From soups and pancakes to plant-based burgers and chips, here are six of the sweetest Fx ™-approved sweet potato products available at your local Heinen’s.
