Japanese Murasaki Sweet Potatoes

Quantity/Pack: 3 Pounds
Seasonality: Feb - Mar, Sep - Dec
Origin: USA

Attractive reddish-purple skin with a pure white interior, the Japanese “Murasaki” has a sweet, nutty flavor and slightly dry texture.

The variety is a versatile culinary ingredient that can be baked whole, peeled and roasted, boiled, mashed, even sliced or diced for a high-heat sauté. Compared to a common sweet potato, the Murasaki is not as creamy dense, but does have a more full-bodied flavor. 

Choose tubers that are relatively heavy with no scarring or soft, discolored areas. If kept dry and cold, Purple yams will remain fresh in a home refrigerator for 3 weeks.
