Organic Sweet Potato – White (500g) Australia

White sweet potatoes, known for their pale, ivory-coloured flesh and smooth, light-brown skin, offer a milder sweetness compared to their orange counterparts. Grown in warm climates, they have been a staple in parts of Asia and the Southern United States for centuries. Their creamy texture and subtle sweetness make them a versatile option in both savoury and sweet recipes.

White sweet potatoes are rich in complex carbohydrates, providing a steady release of energy. They also contain a healthy dose of vitamin C, which supports immune function and collagen production for healthy skin. With a lower glycemic index than many other starchy vegetables, they are a great choice for those managing blood sugar levels. Additionally, they offer a good amount of dietary fibre, which aids digestion and promotes gut health.

Barry’s tips: Roast white sweet potatoes with olive oil and rosemary for a fragrant, savoury side dish. You can also mash them with a hint of garlic and a touch of butter for a creamy alternative to regular mashed potatoes. For a quick snack, slice and bake them into crispy chips or add them to stews and curries for a mild, comforting texture.
