Japanese Purple Sweet Potato Transplants
Japanese Purple Sweet Potato Transplants (Cell size 1 inch)
The Japanese Purple Sweet Potato is a true culinary gem – strikingly beautiful with its vibrant purple skin and rich violet flesh. Known for its creamy texture, earthy flavor, and natural sweetness, it’s a staple in Japanese kitchens and a favorite for baking, roasting, steaming, or even making colorful desserts. Beyond its bold appearance, this variety is packed with antioxidants and nutrients.
After about 100–120 days of growth, and as the leaves begin to yellow, it’s time to harvest. Carefully dig up the sweet potatoes and allow them to cure in a warm, dry spot for one to two weeks – this process enhances their sweetness and allows for long storage.
