Orleans sweet potatoes feature a stunning deep orange flesh that is sweet, moderately moist, and exceptionally flavorful. Known as the quintessential sweet potato, they offer a classic taste with a natural sweetness that surpasses typical supermarket varieties. This superior flavor is a result of careful curing and cultivation focused on taste rather than mass-market needs. Orleans sweet potatoes are versatile and ideal for baking, mashing, roasting, or frying, making them a perfect addition to any meal, from savory dishes to desserts.
U.S. Grade #2 sweet potatoes offer the same great flavor in a more rustic form, including mainly “uglies” and smaller sizes like “baby bakers”—perfect for adding to everyday meals. A great value for the economical cook, they’re ideal for recipes where their unique shape and size variations go unnoticed.
Storage
Storage Life:
– Ideal Storage (up to 10 months): Keep sweet potatoes in their original box in a dark area at 55°F with 75% relative humidity (RH).
– Ordinary Storage (up to 5 months): Stored in their original box in a dark place at 65°F with 50% RH.
Storage Tip:
Avoid temperatures below 55°F, especially below 45°F, as they can damage the sweet potatoes and reduce their storage life.
