Growing Method
Our sweet potatoes are grown outdoors, which means they grow naturally in the open air. This method of cultivation ensures that the sweet potatoes can absorb all the nutrients from the soil and are therefore full of flavour. In addition, outdoor cultivation ensures a firm structure and good quality of the sweet potatoes.
