Any Q

How long sweet potatoes last in normal room temperature depends on many factors, and it's best to keep them in a pantry to last 3–5 weeks. You can also store sweet potatoes in the fridge for 2–3 months, or freeze them to last even longer.


How do you know if a sweet potato has gone bad?

Black Spots and Brown Spots: The appearance of sweet potatoes is the most tell-tale sign to recognize a rotten sweet potato. A typical indication is black and brown spots. If these spots appear in a sweet potato, it means that this vegetable is rotting and should be thrown away.

Do uncooked sweet potatoes go bad?

Stored on the counter, raw sweet potatoes will generally last for one to two weeks. If you have access to a cool, dark, dry area (similar to the root cellars of our ancestors), sweet potatoes can last about a month.

Can you eat out of date sweet potatoes?

If the sweet potatoes start turning soft or mushy, they have gone bad. The same thing is true for sweet potatoes that turned a deep shade of brown to black. Check for weird growths through the skin or the presence of mold. If the sweet potatoes have developed an off-odor, toss the tubers in the trash.
