Notes from Pam on sweet potato varieties

October 22nd, 2009 · Click here to add a comment · farmer, Pam

Our farmer sent some info on the sweet potatoes we’ve been getting.

  • The dark–orange/red skin dark orange flesh – Beauregard (my fav & great for making pie & biscuits),
  • light almost white tan skin – smooth – white Haman (a gourmet delight – hard to find in regular stores),
  • gold skin/gold flesh – Puerto Rico,
  • lighter gold – longer shape – centennial,
  • gold/gold – kind of round shape – gold mar,
  • almost purple skin, white flesh – Japanese (or some call them Hawaiian)

I am pretty sure we have put a selection of all of these in the boxes in the past few weeks

The essential key here is – they are freshly dug – not stored –

Yum yum

We eat them for breakfast – I can go all day on a medium sweet potato – so fresh there is not even a need for butter – but that is always nice ;-)

Enjoy
