What Are Yummo’s?

In short, Yummo’s are our peeled and frozen baby kumara. And yes, they really do live up to their name. They’re truly yumm-o!

Why Yummo’s Are Special

  • Yummo’s are made from the smallest kumara in our crop.
  • Normally, these baby-sized kumara wouldn’t make it to supermarket shelves because they don’t fit the required size standards.
  • By using them, we reduce our harvest waste and make the most of every crop.

Kumara are only harvested once a year and a huge amount of effort goes into producing each crop from planting, water and pest management right through to the harvest. By creating our frozen Yummo’s, we’re able to bring more of this goodness to market, minimise food waste, and lessen our environmental impact…while giving you a unique, versatile product to enjoy!

Why Use Yummo’s?

  • No prep needed: prewashed, peeled, and ready to cook.
  • Quick cooking time thanks to their small size.
  • Less mess, fewer dishes: just grab what you need, cook, and enjoy.

Yummo’s help bring a touch of effort and finesse to the plate too! They look hand-prepared, even though all the hard work is already done for you. It’s a win-win!

Easy Recipe Ideas
