Evangeline Sweet Potato
Sweet potato
Evangeline is a premium variety with deep orange flesh, with a nutritional and flavour profile that clearly sets it apart from Beauregard.
Its beta-carotene content is 40% higher than Beauregard’s, an important selling point for markets focused on health and nutritional quality. The flavour is equally distinctive: sucrose is the dominant sugar, perceived as sweeter than the maltose typically found in other sweet potato varieties.
