Organic Sweet Potato Puree

Sweet potato puree is a smooth paste made from cooked sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are starchy, sweet-tasting root vegetables grown in many parts of the world. The puree is typically made by steaming or roasting the sweet potatoes and then processing them into a smooth consistency.

Manufacturers use sweet potato puree as a natural sweetener and thickener. It adds a slightly sweet flavor and a smooth texture to foods. It is commonly found in baby foods, yogurts, baked goods, and snack bars.

Sweet potato puree is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated sweet potatoes and their components. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming sweet potato puree at typical dietary levels.
