July 30/Phoenix -- Sales of sweet potato snacks are up an astonishing 1,200% year-to-date, and nearly every restaurant in the nation has added some form of the brightly colored spud to the menu. Boulder Canyon Natural Foods has introduced Baked Sweet Potato Fries, a completely natural snack that mirrors the shape, taste and texture of the popular side dish. Baked Sweet Potato Fries appear in grocery stores in August with a retail price of $2.99-3.29 per 7.5oz bag.  

Boulder Canyon Baked Sweet Potato Fries are seasoned with just the right amount of salt to complement the natural sweetness of the potato.  

"Unlike a chip, our Baked Sweet Potato Fries really embody the form and taste of french fries which sets them apart from other sweet potato snacks on the market today," said Laura Setzfand, vice president of marketing for Boulder Canyon Natural Foods.

Baked Sweet Potato Fries are made with natural ingredients and feature no trans fats, zero cholesterol and 1g of saturated fat. In addition, the snacks are gluten free, Kosher certified and contain no genetically modified organisms (Non-GMO).

Americans are eating twice as many sweet potatoes as they were 20 years ago, due in part to the unique combination of great taste and health attributes. Sweet potatoes are recognized for being inherently rich with vitamin A, vitamin C, Potassium and Beta-Carotene, a vital antioxidant that promotes overall health.
