Purple Sweet Potato

The purple sweet potato, or yam, is a real superfood, with a deep, rich purple pigment. It’s a useful functional food, and particularly popular with the healthy eating market.

A vibrant, exciting alternative to both ordinary potatoes and orange sweet potatoes, it has a distinctive nutty and smoky taste, with less sweetness than other sweet potato varieties. Substitute everywhere you would use orange sweet potatoes – in soups, stews, and ready meals. It also goes really well with bitter greens like spinach and kale.

The crisp purple slices of freeze-dried sweet potato make excellent healthy snacks, either served naturally or lightly salted.
