Fresh Sweet Potato , Japanese PURPLE YAM

The Purple Japanese Sweet Potato, also known as Purple Yam, is an unusual variety with a reddish-purple interior that is highly popular in Okinawa. Its vibrant color is due to the presence of polyphenols, which provide antioxidant benefits. Apart from being used in cooking, it is also a key ingredient in sweets like cakes and ice creams, as well as cosmetics, and has a wide range of other applications.

Purple Yams have natural bright purple color from the same pigment as cherries and blueberries. Rich source of cancer-protecting antioxidants, like red fruits and vegetables.

Purple yams not only hold color during the cooking process, but they turn an even darker shade of purple when cooked! Like all other fruits and vegetables with a dark red pigmentation, Purple Yams are also very high in cancer-protecting antioxidants.

Perfect for all recipes requiring sweet potatoes or yams. Longer baking time of 90 minutes for same creamy moist texture as regular yams. Add to mashed potatoes for a unique color presentation.
