If stored right sweet potatoes can last up to a month. The climate that the sweet potatoes are given is key because if they are able to get wet they rot very easily. You should store them in a cupboard that you usually do not store much else in and that is a cool temperature. Always wash your sweet potatoes and allow them to sufficiently air dry before storing them away. Do not store them in a very tight bag because all potatoes need to 'breath'.

Sweet Potatoes are Tubers.

1. Purchase Sweet Potatoes directly from the grower.

2. Size is important. 4 inches by 2 inches is ideal. (Small, firm potatoes)

3. Retain a light soil layer around skin (do not wash upon initial storage)

4. Do not stack Sweet Potatoes on one another.

5. Keep out of direct sunlight

6. Keep in area that is ventilated with minimal humidity (not too dry)
