did u know about sweet potatoes

-
Sweet potatoes have been cultivated
for 20,000 years: the Aztecs and
Incas cooked and served them,
and today, they are the 6th most
important food crop in the world.
Sweet potatoes have an enzyme that
can turn the starch in this vegetable
into sugars. This happens as the
sweet potato grows older, and it
increases in speed when the vegetable is stored or cooked. Sweet
potatoes were once called “vegetable indispensable,” and rightly
so, as they are packed with calcium, potassium, and vitamins A
and C.
Did you know…
Scientists are currently working on sweet potatoes resistant to
important viruses, such as the sweet potato chlorotic stunt and
potato feathery mottle viruses; and insects, such as the sweet
potato weevil.

Several  industries  are associated with information technology, including  computer hardware ,  software ,  electronics ,  semiconductors ,  internet ,  telecom ...
