Overview
Cured for colour, sweetness and shelf life
Egypt has become a leading sweet-potato supplier to Europe. Our Beauregard sweet potatoes have smooth red skin, deep orange flesh and a sweet flavour, and are cured after harvest to heal the skin and extend shelf life on long voyages.
We grade by weight and shape and pack in branded cartons for retail or in bags for wholesale and foodservice.

FAQ
Buying Sweet potatoes: common questions
When are Egyptian sweet potatoes available?
From August to March, with peak volumes from September to December.
Why are sweet potatoes cured?
Curing heals small skin wounds and converts starch to sugar. It improves sweetness, appearance and storage life.
Can sweet potatoes be shipped with potatoes?
Usually not: sweet potatoes are chilling-sensitive and need a warmer set-point than potatoes.
