Tahiti Sweet Potato

Tahitian sweet potatoes widely vary in size, shape, and color depending on growing conditions, and are generally oblong, cylindrical, to slightly bulbous in shape with curved, tapered ends. The skin is firm, thin, semi-rough, and purple, covered in medium-set eyes and fine root hairs. Underneath the surface, the flesh is dense, crisp, and cream-colored to ivory. Tahitian sweet potatoes, when cooked, have a tender, moist, and creamy consistency with a mild, sweet, and nutty flavor.
