Where can i find kumara

The richer the colour the more phytonutrients present. Buy small quantities regularly and employ good stock rotation principles. Rough treatment will shorten storage and shelf life and cause costly wastage. When stacking crates or boxes on top of each other, the weight must be borne by the crates, or boxes, and not the product.

Only buy product packed in boxes that are strong enough to withstand the weight. This hard core will fail to soften during cooking. Sprouting becomes a problem at higher storage temperatures.

Select a fertiliser specially blended for your crop like Tui Vegetable Food. Lift the foliage regularly. As the vines grow the stems naturally put down new roots where they touch the soil. If you lift the foliage this means the plant will put more energy in tuber growth rather than leaf growth.

Harvest once the leaves start to yellow usually in autumn if planted in spring. Cut back the foliage and then lift kumara carefully using a fork. Leave them on the bed to cure in the sun for a couple of days. Cover them at night with a sack or newspaper. Then store in a cool dry place.
