Farmer's Market Organic Sweet Potato Puree, 15-Ounce Cans (Pack of 12)

I buy this brand from a local store in bulk. I was trying to save myself some time and hassle by buying it through Amazon (about same price either way as my local store). But after this shipment (and a totally separate product shipment from Amazon with serious health/quality issues), I cannot recommend buying this from Amazon.

I was sent the case pack, wrapped in heavy plastic which was packaged in a cardboard box. When I pulled out the plastic-wrapped case, it was extremely obvious that these cans had burst... and had done so some time ago. Why this wasn't caught by their people, I don't know. (I'm on "prime"; so, I get my shipments in 2 days or less, depending on what I choose at the time.)

Anyway, I did open the plastic to inspect the cans further. I found that 4 cans had burst, and the stench was horrible! I tossed the entire batch in the garbage. There was no way I was chancing my family's health on this one.

I will say that Amazon did give me my money back without a major hassle. Regardless though, it seems that Amazon gets good pricing from these companies for stuff that doesn't meet their upper level quality control standards. I order several items from Amazon, most of it isn't not edible items. I do notice minor differences in quality on other items. For the most part, I can overlook them. But on food? No way. (Check out my review for the cereal, if you want to know more.)

Tread warily.

This 100% pure organic sweet potato puree is slightly tart, so it can be used in many recipes--like sweet potato pie or casseroles--without adding lemon juice.

For a fast side dish, dip a couple of tablespoons of puree straight from the can, stir in a little of your favorite sweetener and spice and serve.

Cover tightly before refrigerating the leftovers--air causes the puree to discolor.

Overall it's a tasty and very handy way to add a nutritious super vegetable to your meals, plus it works great in classic sweet potato recipes.
