New in our assortment: sweet potato

Contrary to the name, sweet potato is not related to an ordinary potato. Officially it is a vegetable and therefore fits perfectly in our range. We offer sweet potato peeled in a vacuum packaging of 5 kg. By vacuuming them, the taste will retain longer and the quality is better.

Sweet potatoes contain no starch or gluten like regular potatoes. They are widely used in low-carb and gluten-free dishes. In America, this vegetable is best known as Yam, a much-seen side dish during Thanksgiving Day. In Canada, they mainly use sweet potatoes to make fries. In the Surinamese kitchen, they are processed in different kind of ways.

In Europe, the use of sweet potato is increasing as well. The growth of sales is clearly visible. Not surprising when you consider sweet potatoes have a cholesterol-lowering effect, contain little fat, and are packed with vitamin A and C. We believe in the added value and commercial potential of this product and have therefore added it to our range.

Fried, puffed, fried, stewed, out of the oven or 'just' raw in a salad. You see sweet potatoes more and more. Chef Jamie Oliver also likes to work with this special vegetable and gives many inspiring recipes on his website: https://www.jamieoliver.com/recipes/sweet-potato-recipes/.
