Sweet Potato Purple, 1kg

Purple Sweet Potato 1kg is 1kg of purple sweet potato – the variety with a deep purple skin and vivid purple flesh, far more dramatic than standard orange sweet potato. Purple sweet potato has a drier, less sweet flesh than orange varieties. As a result, it has a more complex, slightly earthy and nutty flavour. Furthermore, the purple colour deepens when cooked and holds well in most preparations. In particular, purple sweet potato makes a dramatically beautiful puree and one of the most visually striking of all sweet potato preparations.

About Purple Sweet Potato 1kg

We source our vegetables and seasonal produce from specialist growers across Britain and Europe. In particular, we select every variety for its flavour, condition and provenance. As a result, the produce we deliver meets a standard well above what most supermarkets carry. Furthermore, we prioritise seasonal and heritage varieties over commodity produce. These varieties exist because growers selected them for taste, not yield or shelf life. However, they require more care and attention to grow. In particular, heritage and specialty vegetables often have shorter seasons and more demanding growing conditions. Additionally, we work with growers who share our commitment to quality. A short supply chain from grower to your door makes all the difference to freshness. That is why Purple Sweet Potato 1kg from The Artisan Food Company consistently impresses even the most discerning cooks.

Why Choose Purple Sweet Potato 1kg From Us

Cooking with genuinely seasonal and specialty produce transforms everyday dishes. In contrast to commodity vegetables, these varieties carry a depth of flavour that rewards simple treatment. As a result, the best preparation is often the simplest. Furthermore, freshness is everything with vegetables. We deliver direct from our suppliers so you cook with produce at its peak. However, even the finest vegetables need a little attention in the kitchen. In particular, most benefit from minimal cooking rather than long boiling. Moreover, good olive oil, sea salt and a little acidity — lemon juice or a splash of vinegar — bring out the best in almost everything. Additionally, the variety and provenance of what you cook matters. That is why we choose these ingredients so carefully.
