Beauregard sweet potatoes, botanically classified as Ipomoea batatas ‘Beauregard,’ are large, underground tubers that grow from spreading, semi-trailing vines reaching up to one meter in length and are members of the Convolvulaceae family. Considered to be one of the most popular sweet potato varieties in the United States, Beauregard sweet potatoes are an early season, high yielding, uniform tuber that was created in Louisiana to help save the sweet potato industry with a disease-resistant cultivar. Beauregard sweet potatoes, along with Jewel sweet potatoes, makeup approximately ninety percent of sweet potato production in the United States and are favored by consumers as a sweet, table variety that can be utilized in both sweet and savory culinary applications.
