National Cook a Sweet Potato Day
February 22, 2024
National Cook a Sweet Potato Day is celebrated every year on February 22. This vegetable is loved and eaten by millions every day in the United States alone. Many times people confuse sweet potatoes with yams; however, that’s not the case. Cultivars of the sweet potato bear tubers with flesh and skin of many colors.
The origin of National Cook a Sweet Potato Day is unknown, but it’s likely that various cultures have been celebrating the food for centuries. The earliest print reference to the holiday is from 2015 in Wisconsin.
