Dried Baked Sweet Potato
3 pack(s). A noticeably distinct, rich texture: not ordinary dried sweet potato, but dried *baked* sweet potato! Imo Pippi Gokumitsu aged baked sweet potatoes are cured under strictly controlled temperature and humidity conditions. Curing them long-term for 3 months advances the conversion of starches to sugars, resulting in a dense, rich sweetness with a Brix level exceeding 50 degrees, reminiscent of a confection. No effort is spared during baking. While sweet potatoes typically bake in 1 hour(s) at high heat of 200°C, Imo Pippi carefully regulates temperatures to keep the core between 65°C and 70°C—the range where beta-amylase enzymes responsible for unlocking natural sweetness are most active—and bakes them for a set duration. Afterwards, they are baked slowly for roughly 3 hours at a low temperature of 120°C to 130°C. Those Gokumitsu aged baked sweet potatoes are then luxuriously prepared as dried baked sweet potatoes. Roasting sweet potatoes increases their sweetness. Unlike standard dried sweet potatoes, this allows maximum sweetness to be coaxed out. The texture also departs from the chewy firmness of conventional dried sweet potato, offering a moist, unctuous bite that fills the palate with sweet potato flavor.
