I usually find Purple Stokes sweet potatoes at Whole Foods for the same price as regular sweet potatoes.

These are Okinawan sweet potatoes, the ones that made Okinawa into a Blue Zone. You can only find them at Asian stores. They’re also my favorite! Their skins are thicker so they bake so much better.

Mine always end up with fibrous stringy bits! Any tips for avoiding that?

Do they stay purple after you cook them? Every other purple vegetable I’ve bought or grown loses it’s colour!
