The sweet potato, native to Central America, is rich in dietary fiber, which helps promote healthy digestion. It is also high in beta carotene (vitamin A), a good source of vitamin E, and virtually fat-free.
Both sweet and savory, sweet potato pairs well with cinnamon, honey and nutmeg and can be added to baked deserts, breads, puddings, casseroles, stews and croquettes.
Drum-drying sweet potato produces a high-quality dried product which reconstitutes immediately, and retains its flavor, color and nutritional value.
Van Drunen Farms offers organic and conventional Drum-dried Sweet Potato in powder and flake format. Customization is available.
