Potato producer Aviko is launching a new range of premium sweet potato fries, with hopes it can have a big impact on the foodservice industry.
Aviko’s research showed 74 per cent of respondents would order sweet potato fries if they were on a menu, with a further 76 per cent claiming they would be perfect for kids' menus.
Health was also a key factor with 68 per cent of respondents preferring sweet potato fries as they see them as a healthier option to regular fries.
Mohammed Essa, Aviko general manager, said: “The natural production method ensures a better quality end product for diners, while caterers can rest assured they are serving a healthier side with a real difference that will sell for more.”
Sweet potatoes contain twice as much fibre as regular potatoes and are also high in potassium, which plays an important role in lowering blood pressure.
