What it is

Organic sweet potato flour is made from dried and ground organic sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are starchy root vegetables grown worldwide. The flour is typically produced by washing, peeling, slicing, drying, and milling the sweet potatoes.

Why it's used

This flour is used as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baking and cooking. It can add a slightly sweet flavor, a natural orange color, and moisture to products. It is often found in baked goods like pancakes, waffles, cookies, and breads, as well as in snacks like chips and crackers.

Health notes

International bodies like the WHO/FAO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated many food ingredients, but specific evaluations for sweet potato flour are not widely published.
