Types of sweet potatoes

Of all the sweet potatoes available, which one is your favorite?
Many people may think that all sweet potatoes are the same.
Broadly speaking, sweet potatoes can be divided into three types: moist, fluffy, and sticky.
Each has its own characteristics and preferences vary. This time, we will introduce the varieties of each type.

Moist sweet potato Beni Masari... It's especially delicious when baked! It's moist, has a refined sweetness, and a pleasant texture. One of its characteristics is that it retains the flavor of a traditional sweet potato, even though it's a moist sweet potato.
Silk Sweet... It can be said to be the representative of moist sweet potatoes. It is characterized by its sweetness and texture, and although it is not overly sweet, it is a sweet potato that is quite easy to sense the sweetness. However, the sweetness is not vulgar, but very refined, and it is said to have a very nice silky texture.

The fluffy Beni-Azuma sweet potato has a deep red skin with a slight purple tint, yellow flesh with a slightly powdery texture, and low fiber content. It has a rich, refined sweetness. It is also a low-moisture variety, so it is best enjoyed with butter, milk, or other beverages.
Naruto Kintoki... It can be said to be the representative of the fluffy type. It is the most famous. When cooked, it becomes fluffy like a chestnut and has a refined sweetness. Its nutritional value is almost the same as that of a regular sweet potato, but it is low in calories and rich in vitamin C.

The sticky sweet potato Beni Haruka... There are various theories, but one is that it was named "Beni Haruka" because it is "much sweeter" than the Annou sweet potato. As the name suggests, when baked, the rich sweetness spreads throughout your mouth! It also has a good amount of moisture, so it has a smooth texture that doesn't get stuck in your throat. It's so sugary that it's not an exaggeration to say that you're eating a dessert rather than a sweet potato.
Amatakun... As the name suggests, it is said to be very sweet and will not disappoint! When baked, it has a rich potato flavor, but the aftertaste is clean and refreshing, so once you try it, you'll be hooked.

This is a rough introduction to some of the most common products sold in supermarkets.
When purchasing, choose your favorite sweet potato with a dark, shiny, firm skin. Choose one with shallow depressions on the surface and dark spots caused by dried honey.
