This is a special sweet potato variety with purple skin and bold purple flesh that intensifies when cooked. Aside from its unique bold color, the Stokes Purple Sweet Potato differs from other sweet potatoes and yams in its flavor and texture, offering a favorably dryer, denser, and richer taste with well-balanced sweetness. The Stokes Purple Sweet Potato is grown in California and is non-GMO. (from Frieda's)
