SKU: ORG-MURSK-SLIPS
Farm-Direct | USDA Certified Organic Farm
Product Description:
Bring the garden to your table with certified organic Murasaki sweet potato slips, grown on a USDA certified organic farm in Florida. Whether you're a seasoned grower or planting your first raised bed, these farm-direct slips give you a head start on one of the most rewarding crops you can grow — nutrient-dense, naturally sweet, and endlessly versatile in the kitchen.
Propagated from organically grown sweet potato stock on a certified organic Florida farm, these slips arrive clean and chemical-free, with no synthetic pesticides and no artificial fertilizers — just healthy, vibrant starts ready for your garden.
Why These Slips Are Special:
Certified Organic — Grown on a USDA certified organic farm in Florida, propagated from organic sweet potato stock. Clean, chemical-free, and rooted in integrity from soil to slip
A Rare & Sought-After Variety — Murasaki is a Japanese-origin sweet potato with a devoted following among food-forward home cooks and Asian-American communities. Finding organically grown Murasaki slips from a domestic farm is genuinely rare
Strong, Healthy Starts — Slips are carefully cultivated to develop healthy root systems before shipping, giving your plants the best possible start in the garden
Florida Sunshine Grown — The warm climate and rich organic soil of the Florida farm produce vigorous, heat-adapted slips well suited for growing across a wide range of U.S. climates
Traceable & Transparent — Grown on a single certified organic farm with full traceability from stock plant to shipped slip. You know exactly where your food starts
About the Murasaki Sweet Potato:
Skin: Deep purple-red
Flesh: Creamy white to pale yellow
Taste: Mildly sweet with a rich, nutty, chestnut-like flavor — less sugary than orange varieties, making it exceptional for both savory and sweet preparations
Texture: Dense and starchy when cooked; becomes wonderfully fluffy and light when baked or roasted
Best For: Roasting, baking whole, soups, tempura, Japanese-inspired dishes, grain bowls, and savory sides
Why It's Special: Murasaki means "purple" in Japanese, a nod to its striking deep purple skin. Originally developed in Japan and deeply rooted in East Asian food culture, the Murasaki has earned a growing reputation in the U.S. for its complex, understated sweetness and its versatility across cuisines. It is lower in sugar than conventional orange sweet potatoes, making it a favorite for those who prefer a more balanced, savory-friendly flavor
Growing Info:
Best Planting Time: After last frost when soil temperatures reach at least 60°F (spring through early summer)
Sunlight: Full sun (6–8 hours daily)
Soil: Well-draining, loose, slightly acidic soil
Spacing: Plant slips 12–18 inches apart in rows 3–4 feet apart
Days to Harvest: Approximately 90–120 days
Hardiness: Thrives in warm climates and can be grown as an annual in cooler zones
Yield: Each slip typically produces 4–8 sweet potatoes per plant
