Kumara. What’s not to love?
Kiwis love kumara…
Sweet, scrumptious, melt-in-your-mouth kumara, yum! Whether roasted or mashed, baked or boiled, chipped or wedged, in salads, stews or soups, the colourful kumara (or sweet potato) is one of the greatest pleasures of being a New Zealander. Let’s face it … a roast isn’t a Kiwi roast without delicious red, orange or golden roasted kumara. And did you know that the kumara plant has a heart-shaped leaf? No wonder these versatile veggies are so easy to love.
Your body loves kumara too…
Rated as one of the most nutritious vegetables of all, kumara are nature’s little power packs of goodness. Crammed full of anti-oxidants, potassium, vitamins C and E and high in dietary fibre, they’re as wonderful for you as they are to eat.
