Review: Delicious. well-shipped, & Dr says great for Diabetes - My family MD told me to buy these. His mother went strict Paleo, after several of their relatives died of diabetes. She used these purple yams as the ONLY carb on her diet -- and successfully avoided diabetes! Diabetes is hereditary & common in their country. But they can't stand to quit carbs, especially rice. My husband is from that country; his mother died of diabetes. His pre-diabetes is getting worse due to carbs. I'm sure if he switches to these yams, it will help ! We got 3 pounds, 4 big potatoes. Perfect sized order for 2 seniors. Arrived quickly, in good condition, well-packaged. Incredibly delicious! My husband and I ate them for six meals, they were perfect. Bake, nuke, slice & fry, fabulous.
Review: flavor nice, quality poor - The potatoes arrived looking small. The mailing bag was moist inside not dry. Within a week 2 of the potatoes had mold on them, even though I stored them in a cool, dry and dark space. I cooked 2 of them, both had areas that were hard and dry and therefore smashed potatoes didn't work too well. The flavor, however was wonderful.
