Sweet Potato
Sweet potatoes are a year-round staple, imported consistently to the UK from warmer global climates. Their creamy texture and natural sweetness make them a versatile alternative to traditional tubers. They are an exceptional source of beta-carotene (vitamin A), vitamin C, manganese, and fiber, supporting immune and skin health.
