Forget Courgetti: Spoodles Are Here

Courgetti is old news as there's a new way to kick spiralizers into gear – Spoodles!

Spoodles - or sweet potato noodles – are simply spiralized raw sweet potato and are quick to create and can be enjoyed either raw, for a deliciously crunchy treat, or lightly fried as a healthier alternative to pasta.

These 'how to' recipes, created by the Love Sweet Potatoes campaign, feature Spoodles soaked in tangy red wine vinegar, perfect as a light lunch or an alternative side dish to the usual salad, and lightly fried Spoodles which pair fantastically with pasta sauces.

Vibrant in colour and good to the waistline for that summer body, sweet potatoes are a fun way toward 'five a day' and are packed with vitamin A, potassium, fibre and vitamin C.

The Love Sweet Potatoes campaign was created by Scott Farms to educate consumers on the benefits of cooking with sweet potatoes. Scott Farms has been growing sweet potatoes for over four generations and is the largest importer of sweet potatoes into the UK.
