Care of Fresh Sweet Potatoes
Always remember that fresh sweet potatoes are extremely perishable if mishandled. After bringing them home from the market, handle carefully since they bruise easily. Brusising leads to discoloration of the root and can cause the sweet potato to rot. Sweet potatoes should not be stored in the refrigerator nor in any area where the temperature drops below 60 to 55 degrees Fahrenheit. Yams are susceptible to cold injury which leads to an undesirable taste when cooked. A dry unrefrigerated storage bin is excellent for keeping sweet potatoes until ready for preparation. On the average they can be stored two months.
