Beauregard is relied on by thousands of farmers, who simply wouldn't plant it if it didn't grow well, so you know it is a well tried and tested variety. High yielding, it is a bushy vine-type sweet potato with attractive rose-purple coloured skin and deep orange interior plus the sweet potatoe crop it provides is a bit of a super food! Providing vitamins C and E, Beauregard Sweet Potatoes also contain iron, fiber, and potassium, on top of that, they are a good source of beta-carotene, (which gives the orange pigment to them) and this is converted into vitamin A in the body - great for eye sight and skin - so they really are a fantastic super food to grow at home.
Â
When cooked, the dark orange flesh is dense, moist, and fine-grained, developing a tender, soft, and creamy consistency with a sweet and slightly nutty flavor. Beauregard sweet potatoes will be ready to harvest from our plants in as little as 60-90 days once planted and grown on in your garden.
