Sweet Potato Flour

A speciality flour that is produced from white sweet potatoes. It is raw flour, not roasted flour and therefore, does not require cooking before use. Dull white in color, sweet potato flour is stiff in texture and somewhat sweet tasting. High in fiber, this flour contains more carbohydrates but less protein than common flour. It can be used for baked goods, such as breads, cookies, muffins, pancakes, doughnuts, sauces, and gravies, or as a thickener.
