Sweet potatoes are a starchy sweet tasting root vegetable. Although they share a name, they are not actually related to white potatoes and actually count as one of your 5-a-day, which regular potatoes don’t.

They will cook faster than regular potatoes but you can use them in much the same way, boiled, mashed or roasted. Try cutting into wedges, drizzle with some olive oil and place in the oven for 20-25 mins.

Wash before eating.

* Like us, not all fruit or vegetables are perfectly formed. We don’t believe in discriminating against misshapen carrots or imperfect potatoes and in fact, love them for their flaws. A less than round apple is still as tasty as their perfectly formed cousins. Unless your produce is clearly defective, please accept them as Nature intended.
