£3.33 per kgProduct information
As the name suggests, sweet potatoes have a deliciously sweet flavour and are soft and moist when cooked. They are incredibly versatile and can be steamed, baked, boiled, microwaved, roasted or fried.
Enjoy it hot or cold in an array of dishes including soup, served as wedges alongside your BBQ favourites, mashed alongside your roast or as a cold dip for your vegetable crudités.
The sweet potato is a native American plant and, despite it's name, is not related to the potato! It was brought back to Spain by Christopher Columbus in 1492 and introduced to African lands by the Portuguese. They are cultivated in tropical and sub-tropical regions and need abundant sunshine to grow.

Very good
I didn't like sweet potatoes before buying this
Small
Very small. Some are just a bit bigger than a large carrot. They are too sweet and take ages to cook. The size makes it annoying to bake them for a family. Who gets the very little one? I got 3 big and 1 ok and 3 tiny ones.
Rotted very quickly
Sweet potatoes normally keep for ages if kept properly. These rotted within a few days and had to be discarded. HATE FOOD WASTE!
watery
These were very watery and didn't make great wedges. But as it's a natural product it is what it is. Hit and miss.
best I've ever tasted
Even my daughter who hates sweet potatoes ate them all up!
Half rotten
I had to throw away half of the bag as the potatoes were black and rotten. Avoid.
