Below, explore our signature varieties and learn how each one can brighten your table and your health.
Orange-Fleshed Sweet PotatoesClassic sweetness and vibrant color
The orange sweet potato is the classic favorite, known for its naturally sweet flavor and brilliant color. Rich in beta-carotene, it's a powerful source of vitamin A, which supports healthy vision, immunity, and skin. Its creamy texture makes it ideal for mashing, roasting, or baking into everything from hearty side dishes to decadent pies.
Health Highlight: One medium orange sweet potato provides more than 100% of your daily vitamin A needs, along with fiber and slow-burning carbohydrates for long-lasting energy.
Red Sweet PotatoesEarthy flavor and stunning skin
With their deep, rose-colored skin and moist orange flesh, red sweet potatoes have a slightly more earthy flavor than the traditional orange variety. They roast beautifully and hold their shape well—perfect for salads, bowls, or grilling.
Health Highlight: A good source of vitamin C and antioxidants, red sweet potatoes help strengthen the immune system and protect against cellular damage.
White Sweet PotatoesMild, nutty, and versatile
White sweet potatoes feature light tan skin and a pale, creamy interior. They offer a more subtle sweetness and a drier, slightly starchy texture, making them an excellent alternative to regular white potatoes—only with more fiber and potassium.
Health Highlight: Their lower glycemic index compared to standard white potatoes helps support steady blood sugar levels and balanced energy.
Japanese Sweet PotatoesSweet, rich, and naturally dessert-like
Recognizable by their deep purple skin and golden-yellow flesh, Japanese sweet potatoes boast a chestnut-like sweetness and a dense, fluffy texture. They're a favorite for simple roasted dishes or enjoyed baked with a touch of butter.
Health Highlight: Naturally high in antioxidants and a source of vitamin E, Japanese sweet potatoes support skin health and help combat free radicals.
Stokes Purple® Sweet PotatoesBold color, powerful antioxidants
The Stokes Purple® sweet potato is as striking as it is nutritious, with deep purple flesh and vibrant skin that holds its color even after cooking. Its mildly sweet, wine-like flavor pairs beautifully with both savory and sweet recipes.
Health Highlight: Rich in anthocyanins—the same antioxidants found in blueberries—Stokes Purple® sweet potatoes support brain health, heart health, and help fight inflammation.
Okinawan Sweet PotatoesA tropical purple superfood
With beige skin and brilliant lavender flesh, the Okinawan sweet potato is a staple in Hawaiian cuisine and a nutritional powerhouse. Its subtle, earthy sweetness makes it perfect for both traditional and modern recipes.
Health Highlight: Like the Stokes Purple®, Okinawan sweet potatoes are packed with anthocyanins, offering strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
Ben Yagi Sweet PotatoesRare and gourmet
The Ben Yagi is a premium, specialty variety celebrated for its delicate sweetness and creamy texture. Its subtle flavor makes it a favorite for gourmet dishes where the natural taste of the potato can shine.
