Sweet potato shoots are very nutritious. They are also very versatile. You can practically cook anything with it. Try to add it in your curry next time. It may surprise you!
There are many varieties of sweet potato shoots, but, I have only 3 types.
1. Purple - This is the very first type I grow. It has purple stem and it produces purple sweet potato. Please see My Sweet Potato
2. Green - This is the softest variety I have. It tastes the best when stir-fry with sambal belacan.
3. '5 Fingers' - I don't know the actual of this type, but my mum calls it '5 Jari' because the shape of the leaves look like 5 fingers (probably needs some imagination). According to mum, this is the most nutritious type among all. I just got this variety from my friend last month. Hope it will be happy being a part in our garden : )
I like autumn. Many plants like this season too. Especially sweet potato shoots they will just grow, and grow, and grow. So, it is also a 'give away' season too. Believe me, nobody would say 'No' to this delicious veggie.
