What it is

Sweet potato flour is made from dried and ground sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are starchy, sweet-tasting root vegetables. The flour retains many of the nutrients found in the whole sweet potato.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sweet potato flour as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour in baked goods like bread, cookies, and biscuits. It can also be found in snacks such as chips and pretzels, adding a slightly sweet flavor and contributing to texture.

Health notes

Sweet potato flour is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It is a source of carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated various food ingredients, but specific evaluations for sweet potato flour's safety as a direct additive are not widely publicized.

Allergen info

Sweet potato flour is not derived from any of the 9 FDA major allergens. It is naturally gluten-free.
