Did you know, sweet potatoes are not actually potatoes at all? But just like their namesakes, there are hundreds of varieties. We’ve selected the ones with the familiar, thin orange skin, orange flesh and moist texture. These sweeties are highly nutritious, and great as part of a healthy balanced diet. With their natural honeyed flavour and creamy texture, they’re delicious too! Plus, they’re so versatile, they’re easy to weave into any meal. You can boil, bake, roast, grill whip, purée or fry them. And they cook in minutes in the microwave. Serve as a side dish, toss into a salad, or add them to your muffin and bread recipes.
