About this item
Batatas can be used in endless ways. They are ideal for making oven fries—brush wedges with olive oil, sprinkle on salt and cayenne pepper, and roast. Or simply bake and top with butter, salt, and pepper. Batatas are a good source of vitamin C, potassium, fiber, and antioxidants. They're high in fiber and carbohydrates, which are a good source of energy.
