Potatoes are gaining an increasing presence in Polish households. Their mild, slightly sweet flavor makes dishes unique - therefore, they are an excellent complement to both meaty dishes and desserts.
Fundamental facts about sweet potatoes
The sweet potato is cultivated in the subtropical countries of America, Africa and Asia. In Poland it is known as the wolf potato, while in North America it is referred to as the sweet potato. It belongs to the family of warring clans and originates from South America (J. Słupski, T. Tarko, I. Drożdż 2018). Due to its nutritional benefits, the sweet potato has become increasingly popular both in Poland and worldwide (A. Starek, A. Sagan, A. Blicharz-Kania 2018). Sweet potatoes are used in the production of various products such as Sago (a type of granulated flour or porridge), alcoholic beverages, starch syrup or candied products. In addition, they serve as a raw material for the production of probiotic food (B. Krochmal-Marczak, B. Sawicka 2013).
