{"product_id":"murasaki-sweet-potato-slips","title":"Murasaki Sweet Potato Slips","description":"\u003cp\u003eMurasaki is a truly stunning Japanese sweet potato, offering a beautiful contrast in the garden and on the plate. It features a striking, deep purple skin that, when cut, reveals a surprisingly pure white flesh. The flavor is its true calling card: complex, sweet, and distinctly nutty, often compared to a water chestnut. This isn't your typical sweet potato; its texture is drier and fluffier, making it a fantastic choice for baking and roasting, as it holds its shape beautifully and won't become watery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-3 citation-end-3\"\u003eIn the garden, Murasaki produces a good, reliable yield of uniformly shaped roots.\u003csup class=\"superscript\" data-turn-source-index=\"1\"\u003e\u003c!----\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e It also boasts good resistance to Fusarium and root-knot nematodes, making it a resilient choice. While it takes a bit longer to mature (around 100 days), the reward is a high-nutrition crop that stores exceptionally well. That drier flesh isn't just for texture; it's what allows these tubers to last much longer in storage than their orange-fleshed cousins, keeping your pantry stocked with this delicious, nutty treat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eSHIPPING: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSweet Potato Slips are not available for In-Store Pickup\u003c\/strong\u003e. Slips do not travel well, and as a result are only available for direct shipment from the farm to your home.

Don't be alarmed if they appear wilted, dry, or pale from their travels; this is perfectly normal, and these slips are famously hardy. If you can't plant them immediately, you can store them for a few days by wrapping the root ends in a moist paper towel (keeping the leaves dry) and standing them upright in a glass at room temperature. If planting must be delayed a week or more, it's best to loosely plant the slips in a pot of moist soil and keep them indoors until you're ready.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 42, 0);\"\u003eDOES NOT SHIP TO Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"vendor-unknown","offers":[{"title":"10 Slips","offer_id":46180681384094,"sku":"sweet_potato_murasaki_10","price":16.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0072\/0909\/1117\/files\/Murasaki_7.png?v=1769442697","url":"https:\/\/hudsonvalleyseed.mom\/products\/murasaki-sweet-potato-slips","provider":"Hudson Valley Seed Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
