Fresh Japanese Sweet Potatoes

Sweet, Nutty Japanese-Style Sweet Potatoes

Fresh Japanese sweet potatoes have a naturally dense, dry texture and a gently sweet, nutty flavor that becomes richer as they cook. Often marketed as Asian yams, they are botanically sweet potatoes and work beautifully in both simple side dishes and more elaborate meals.

Best Ways to Enjoy Them

• Roast or bake whole for a caramelized exterior and fluffy center
• Steam or boil for curries, soups, stews, and salads
• Slice for tempura, stir-fries, or breakfast hash
• Mash or purée for sweet and savory recipes

Storage

Keep unwashed sweet potatoes in a cool, dry, dark, well-ventilated place. Avoid refrigeration before cooking, which can affect their texture and flavor.

Available in 1 lb, 3 lb, 10 lb, and 30 lb options. Fresh produce naturally varies in size, shape, and skin color.
