How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Sweet Potatoes
- You should choose freshly harvested tubers that are still covered in mud, of medium size which usually have less fiber, and opt for tubers with a darker color as they are sweeter and tastier.
- Touch them with your hand; if they feel firm and not soft or leaking, and are intact without cracks, they are worth buying.
- Choose sweet potatoes that are sweeter and tastier for roasting. Avoid those with dark spots on the skin or those that are pockmarked, as they may have worms and an unpleasant smell.
