Fresh Jamaican sweet potato in a 1kg pack. Jamaican sweet potato has a reddish skin and pale, slightly sweet orange flesh — different in character from the deep-orange American sweet potatoes common in UK supermarkets. The texture is firmer and slightly less sweet. Particularly good roasted in chunks, mashed, or boiled and served alongside saltfish, ackee, or as part of a Caribbean Sunday dinner. Also makes excellent sweet potato pudding, the traditional Caribbean baked dessert. The 1kg pack contains enough for a family meal. Cook within a week of purchase.
