A large sweet potato typically weighs between 8 and 12 ounces.
However, the size can vary significantly depending on the variety and growing conditions. Some varieties, like the Beauregard, can grow much larger, reaching up to 1.5 pounds or more.
Here are some other ways to estimate the size of a large sweet potato:
- Length: A large sweet potato can be anywhere from 6 to 12 inches long.
- Circumference: The circumference of a large sweet potato can range from 4 to 6 inches.
When purchasing sweet potatoes, it is best to choose ones that feel firm and heavy for their size. Avoid any sweet potatoes that have soft spots, bruises, or signs of mold.
