Hawaiian Purple Sweet Potato, also known as Okinawan sweet potato, is a nutrient-dense root vegetable with distinctive light-brown skin and vibrant violet-purple flesh. These sweet potatoes are grown in Hawaii and offer a deliciously sweet, honey-like flavor. Rich in antioxidants, they contain 150% more antioxidants than blueberries, primarily from anthocyanins which give them their brilliant purple color.
Each 3-pound bag contains fresh purple sweet potatoes perfect for various cooking methods. The potatoes can be baked, boiled, steamed, microwaved, or turned into fries. Steaming for approximately 15 minutes allows the skins to peel off easily. Slow baking caramelizes their natural sugars for enhanced sweetness. These versatile potatoes make excellent side dishes, can be mashed, roasted as fries, or used in soups, curries, pancakes, and desserts.
