And they're only here for a few weeks:
sweet potatoes. And soon.Simply put, they’re the cute little siblings of the sweet potatoes you already know and love. Sometimes they're so small because of an early harvest; other times they were planted too close to other plants and didn’t have enough room to spread out.
Fingerlings' small size means they’re not the kind of thing you’ll likely see at a national supermarket chain. “They are not desirable," explains Adam Hainer of Juniper Hill Farm in Wadhams, NY. "They don't meet the large food system's packing standards." Spacht says that “before folks were interested in them” there was no choice but to “leave them in the ground and/or eat them ourselves.
“Anytime you can create a cool high quality niche product out of a less-desirable product, it’s an awesome win for the farmer,” says Spacht.Smaller sweet potatoes cook quicker, making them especially convenient for weeknight dinners. And while large sweet potatoes can be a little stringy, these little guys offer a uniformly soft texture.
