Purple Sweet Potato

Purple sweet potato is a starchy root vegetable with vivid purple flesh and a mildly sweet, earthy flavor, found in varieties such as Okinawan and Japanese sweet potatoes. It’s commonly roasted, baked, boiled, mashed, or used in soups, pastries, and other desserts. People track it to log carbohydrate, fiber and micronutrient amounts, record portion sizes and recipe ingredients, and note the anthocyanin pigments that give it its color.
