Can Sweet Potatoes Be White

Yes, sweet potatoes can be white!

While the most common varieties have orange flesh, some sweet potatoes have white or cream-colored flesh with light tan or pale skin.

White sweet potatoes, such as the Hannah or Japanese white sweet potato, tend to have a milder, slightly drier and less sweet flavor compared to orange ones.
