Naturally sweet, vibrantly coloured and full of nourishing goodness, Australian sweet potatoes — also known as kumera — are a true staple of the cooler months. Grown in the rich, warm soils of Bundaberg, Cudgen and Rockhampton, they thrive all year round, with peak supply from April to October. Packed with beta-carotene (a precursor to vitamin A), vitamin C, fibre and antioxidants, sweet potatoes are as healthy as they are satisfying. Their creamy texture and subtle sweetness make them perfect for roasting, mashing, or blending into soups and curries — as well as a great alternative to traditional potato bakes or fries.
