Boniato sweet potatoes are thought to have made their way to Asia via pre-Incan explorers traveling to the Easter Islands. They are in fact an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin A, potassium, fiber, and antioxidants that may protect against certain cancers, prevent vision loss and improve eye health. Boniato sweet potatoes are medium to large in size with a creamy white flesh that offers a fluffy, dry, and starchy texture when cooked, similar to that of a white potato. Besides, unlike yellow and orange-fleshed sweet potatoes, the Boniato sweet potato is not as sweet. However, when roasted whole, it emits a subtle sweetness with notes of chestnuts.
