Aviko introduces frozen sweet potato fries to foodservice range

Potato processing company Aviko has launched a frozen sweet potato fry product for the foodservice trade based on research that suggests consumers perceive the product as a healthy and attractive option, especially for families.

Aviko says consumer research suggests 74 per cent of respondents would order sweet potato fries if they were on the menu in a restaurant. 

Around the same amount also thought the product was perfect for a children's menu.

Aviko uses a ‘steam blanching’ production method that it says delivers better taste retention and produces a good crispiness and colour.
