Red Japanese

Red Japanese sweet potatoes, also known as Murasake, have dark red skin and pale yellow to white sweet flesh. They have a lower moisture content than other varieties, giving them a light and fluffy consistency and are known for their distinctive chestnut-like nutty sweet flavor. 

In Japan, these specialty sweet potatoes are the preferred variety for crispy tempura or simply steamed with minimal ingredients. Enjoy Red Japanese sliced and air-fried, baked or quickly microwaved for a quick snack. They are the perfect choice for easy, delicious and healthy meals. This adaptable variety can take less than optimum conditions and has good disease resistance.
