How to Choose Good Purple Sweet Potatoes, No Fibers
- Buy sweet potatoes that are intact, not cracked or chipped. When held, they should feel heavy, firm, and not bruised.
- Be careful if the sweet potato has black spots or is pitted, as this indicates that it is spoiled.
- Choose sweet potatoes that are round or elongated without any waist or indentations; when pressed lightly, they should not be too hard. These potatoes are usually less fibrous, have more starch, and taste very sweet.
- Avoid selecting very small, long potatoes with waists or indentations, as they will have more fibers.
