I received a lot of sweet potatoes. I haven't tried them yet, but I don't think they'll be enough for roasting sweet potatoes. They're in good condition. I think they're a good value for the price.

Bake in a small oven for 1 hour; it's soft and chewy, but not as sweet as the larger one.

The only problem was that the expiration date was so close. We bought it on October 21st, and it expires on November 25th!

Well packaged! It just looks like it melted at some point because it turned into one lump! Hahaha, nothing a knife can't fix! This one arrived very close to its expiration date, so I had to freeze the other packages.
