What do sweat potato leaves have to do with anything, your probably thinking. This is the first year I’ve grown sweat potatoes and I’m learning as much as I can about them.
I have them growing in a few places around the yard. As those who have been following along for awhile knows, I’m working on putting together a food forest and the more things I can grow the better off the boys and I will be in the long run.
When I started growing sweat potatoes I didn’t really do much research to be honest, many things I do are spur of the moment and not well thought out or planned unless of course it’s a major purchase or something that will have long term affects around here.
Today I started wondering if the leaves were edible and dug into it a bit and found they are, I’ve read the taste is a bit strong for most and may be better cooked. I took a nibble and found them to be good. Nonetheless the ones I picked today went into a stir fry I had for lunch.
The oldest tried some and said it was good, though he picked out some of the veggies.
Here’s a link in case you decide to give the leaves a go, good in salads or so I’ve read. I will give it a try tomorrow.

As always may your ambitions be met with great success!
