Author	Topic: Sweet potato leaves
PlutoSurvivor Knowflake Posts: 2406 From: USA Registered: Sep 2011	posted September 25, 2015 04:29 PM I was just wondering when to harvest my sweet potatoes and read that the leaves are edible. Anyone in LL plant sweet potatoes and eat the leaves? Good for soups, stews, sweeter than collards supposedly, omelettes, with paneer, etc. can't wait to try them. I've been watching the critters nibble and thought it must taste pretty good to them, so why not taste good to us. I wonder if they can be dehydrated, too? I will try it IP: Logged

PlutoSurvivor Knowflake Posts: 2406 From: USA Registered: Sep 2011	posted October 03, 2015 03:05 PM The leaves are purple tinted when they are small and new. Yes, very pretty shape as well. Absolutely delicious. I picked the smaller unblemished green leaves. Sweet. I cooked them with squash/pumpkin leaves. Added them to a pasta sauce made with freshly picked plum tomatoes,added yellow banana peppers from the yard sliced thinly, plus garlic, a little dry red wine, salt, pepper, dried vine spinach flakes, parsley, fresh oregano and basil. Then dumped in the drained cooked pasta to absorb the juices. That's was a meal to satisfy company, but I enjoyed it alone, a kind of spiritual sensation the f can't mounting with the bounty of my garden. IP: Logged

PlutoSurvivor Knowflake Posts: 2406 From: USA Registered: Sep 2011	posted October 22, 2015 08:44 AM The leaves got hit by the cold this week. Last meal with leaves were saut�ed with olive oil, garlic and fresh hot pepper from garden, mixed in with organic frozen veggies. Decided to harvest the sweet potatoes. Wow!!! I dug up gigantic sweet potatoes. Saved all the tiny roots and starter potatoes for juicing. Sweet potatoes juice well with grapefruit. IP: Logged
PlutoSurvivor Knowflake Posts: 2406 From: USA Registered: Sep 2011	posted October 22, 2015 08:49 AM Love it! I dug up a tiny snake while harvesting sweet potatoes. Poor thing was hibernating down under the ground. I held it for a while and put it into the compost with a worm and a salamander. I love digging in the earth, but it bothers me when I disturb the wildlife. Digging for sweet potatoes is like going on an archeological expedition Adventurous for me, haha IP: Logged

mirage29 Knowflake Posts: 14502 From: us Registered: May 2012	posted November 21, 2015 07:24 PM No way! Not me. Don't like the sweet potato in a pie. I like to eat my sweet potatoes with butter, salt, and a little brown sugar topping... I Pumpkin Pie! IP: Logged
PlutoSurvivor Knowflake Posts: 2406 From: USA Registered: Sep 2011	posted November 22, 2015 02:43 PM At thanksgiving every year when growing up we would boil sweet potatoes in their jackets, peel them the following day and slice them lengthwise, heat them in a pan with butter and brown sugar. Candied sweet potatoes. Yum. IP: Logged
