Sweet Potato- Northern Star
Ipomoea batatas
NOT TO NT, TAS, WA
- White fleshed variety
- Red skin
- Popular variety
A white-fleshed, red skinned variety with tubers that have a smooth elliptical shape. Grows as a vigorous vine with mid-green, lobed leaves. The young leaves can be cooked and eaten as a spinach substitute. The flesh is firm, has a sweet nutty flavour, and is suitable for baking, mashing, steaming or boiling.
Each tuber will produce multiple slips (shoots). Each slip has the potential to grow into a mature plant that can produce 3-4 large tubers each.
This popular variety has a double skin that helps reduce marking when harvesting, and although the usually smooth shape can go bumpy or ribbed during difficult growing periods, this is mostly cosmetic.
