    QUICK question please! Sweet patatoe

    I was at the grocery store getting my last bunch of foods, and i needed some sweet patatoes...There was 2 kinds...just sweet patatoes (skinny and long) and US grown sweet patatoes (big and bulky)

    Are they both good, or should i just get a certain kind??????????

    They are different types of the same species. As, for instance, white-skinned versus red regular potatoes.

    Each would taste a bit different; you could try them both if you liked.

    Do they have the same nutritional value?

    I would suspect probably not identical. Different breeds of apples probably (indeed, I would say certainly) do not have identical nutrition either, but one still slams them into Fitday as "four ounces of apple". In fact, grow a nice Macintosh at Jones Orchard, and it might have more sugars or vitamins than a Macintosh grown two lanes over at Brown Orchard where there are maybe a few more rocks and a few less bits of organic matter in the soil.

    However, unless you have your own multimillion dollar testing lab in the basement, might as well go with the average values of your preferred food nutrient database.
