Effortless sweet potato puree, every time!
The OFSP (Orange-fleshed sweet potato) puree technology involves the conversion of fresh sweet potato tubers into a stable and versatile puree. The process includes cleaning, steaming, peeling, and mashing or pureeing the sweet potato flesh. This results in a smooth and uniform puree suitable for various food applications. Vacuum-packed storage technology with preservatives extends the shelf life of the puree. Hygiene and food safety practices are maintained throughout the process.
This technology is TAAT1 validated.
