๐Ÿฅง National COOK a SWEET POTATO Day ORIGIN & HISTORY

Neither the founder nor the creative origin of this holiday has ever truly been established. We do know National COOK a SWEET POTATO Day is celebrated on the 22nd Day in February. People are encouraged to cook and enjoy sweet potatoes in various ways, whether baked, roasted, mashed, or fried. Itโ€™s a time to share recipes, try new cooking methods, and appreciate the unique flavor of sweet potatoes.

This playful holiday is dedicated to celebrating the culinary versatility and deliciousness of sweet potatoes. While there isnโ€™t a well-documented origin for National COOK a SWEET POTATO Day, it likely emerged as a grassroots celebration among food enthusiasts and sweet potato lovers like Nanny and Papi!

The history of sweet potatoes themselves dates back thousands of years, originating in Central and South America. They were cultivated by indigenous peoples long before the arrival of Europeans. Sweet potatoes were later introduced to Europe by Spanish explorers in the 15th century and eventually spread to other parts of the world, including Asia and Africa.

In the United States, sweet potatoes have been a staple food for centuries, particularly in the southern states where they are often featured in traditional dishes like sweet potato pie, casseroles, and fries. Over time, sweet potatoes have gained popularity for their nutritional benefits and versatility in cooking.
