Beni haruka is a relatively new sweet potato in Japan, having been first grown in Kagoshima Prefecture in the late 2000s. However, it is already gaining nation-wide popularity. Aside from its visually pleasing red-purple peel and bright orange flesh, beni haruka has a natural sweetness and chewy texture, which comes from storing the potatoes for a short while after harvesting. Made using 100% domestically grown beni haruka sweet potatoes, these slices are dried in a dehydrator for about half a day to achieve the perfect chewiness and moisture. 

Since its founding in 1983 Tea Life has been committed to putting customers first and prioritizing high ethical standards to support a healthy lifestyle.

Suggested uses: This naturally sweet snack is great as is or heated in a toaster oven. Simply toast until the slices begin to turn a bit white and then it is ready to eat. Alternatively, heat them in the microwave for ~20 secs (500W). It also makes a great topping for ice cream and soups.
