What it is

Sweet potato puree is a smooth, thick liquid made from cooked sweet potatoes. Sweet potatoes are starchy, sweet-tasting root vegetables grown in many parts of the world. The cooking process softens the vegetable, allowing it to be mashed or blended into a puree.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use sweet potato puree as a natural sweetener and thickener, and to add color and flavor. It is often found in baked goods, desserts, soups, and sauces, contributing a mild sweetness and a smooth texture.

Health notes

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 potato and its components, but no specific ADI is set for the puree itself. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from consuming typical amounts found in food.

Allergen info

Sweet potato is not one of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
