Beauregard sweet potatoes are the ones most commonly requested by consumers.  These are the sweet potatoes which have a deep orange or red flesh when cooked.  The skin color varies, depending on the type of soil in the field where they are grown.  Saura Pride’s sweet potatoes are mostly grown in red clay, which leaves its skin a pale pink color.  This is in sharp contrast to sweet potatoes grown in other parts of North Carolina where the land is sandy, leaving the sweet potatoes grown there with a beige skin.

O’Henry sweet potatoes are a white sweet potato.  After trying other named white sweet potatoes, Saura Pride chose O’Henry because of its taste and consistency when cooked.  While other white sweet potatoes sometimes are more dry and tasteless, the O’Henry is just as moist and tasty as its orange/red counterparts.
