It's nothing like the ones you find elsewhere. Sweet, with that texture you love... you can add it to any dish, or even juice, and it's amazing.

It's been a long time since I've tasted a red sweet potato with this flavor. You can really tell it's organic and from here; when you roast it, it releases that natural syrup that supermarket sweet potatoes don't have.
