Sweet Potato Leaves - Yuummm!

It's amazing how many things are edible when we do a little research. This morning, I was at my friend Johnny's house helping him with some gardening and found out that you can eat sweet potato leaves. It just so happened that there were sweet potato vines choking the tomato plants. So I gathered a bucket, took it home looked up some recipes online, and here we are.



There was a little slime in it - kind of like poi can be - but the younger leaves were less that way.
Look for it in the coop this week.

It looks great. What's the dark part in the middle?

The bright green leaves on the outside are the sweet potato leaves - uncooked and slices of avocado. In the middle are cooked sweet potato leaves, cooked green pawpaw pieces, cooked mung bean sprouts. And then smack in the middle is a freshly-picked grape tomato.
Thanks for your comment Elspeth
