Boniato (28 0 oz)

Experience the unique flavor and texture of Boniato, a beloved root vegetable in Caribbean and Latin American cuisine. This 28 oz Boniato, also known as Cuban sweet potato or batata, is a versatile ingredient that adds a touch of sweetness and a creamy consistency to a variety of dishes. Unlike the orange sweet potato, Boniato has a drier, fluffier texture and a more subtle, less intense sweetness. Its flesh is typically white or cream-colored, sometimes with a pinkish hue. Boniato can be used in many of the same ways as regular potatoes or sweet potatoes. Roast it until tender and caramelized for a simple and satisfying side dish. Boil and mash it with butter and spices for a comforting alternative to mashed potatoes. Add it to stews and soups for added body and flavor. Or, bake it into fries or chips for a healthier snack option. In Cuban cuisine, Boniato is often boiled and mashed with mojo, a flavorful sauce made with garlic, citrus juice, and olive oil. It's also a key ingredient in Ajiaco, a hearty Cuban stew. In other Caribbean islands, Boniato is used in soups, stews, and desserts. Its subtle sweetness pairs well with savory flavors, making it a versatile ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes. Boniato is a good source of carbohydrates, fiber, and vitamins. It's also relatively low in calories and fat. To store, keep it in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place, like a pantry or cellar. Avoid storing it in the refrigerator, as this can cause it to develop a hard core. With its unique flavor and texture, Boniato is a delicious and nutritious addition to any meal, bringing a taste of the Caribbean and Latin America to your table.
