Orange-fleshed sweet potato is a special type of biofortified sweet potato that contains high levels of beta carotene.
Beta carotene is an organic, red-orange pigment abundant in plants and fruits. Beta carotene is what gives OFSP an orange color and is converted to Vitamin A in the body after consumption.
OFSP is a new variety of potato rich in Vitamin A, a critical vitamin that is deficient in most diets in Sub-Saharan Africa.
