Cold vs. Frozen Sweet Potato Storage
Sweet potatoes can be stored under two different conditions:
- Cold Storage (0–10°C):
Keeps sweet potatoes fresh for 3–5 months, maintaining color and texture. - Frozen Storage (-18°C or below):
Suitable for long-term preservation or frozen product supply, but requires more advanced refrigeration systems and higher power consumption.
