Purple Sweet Potato PLANT – Untreated & Heirloom – Molokai Purple – Ipomea costata

Purple Sweet Potato – Ipomea costata is an easy-to-grow and very tasty perennial vegetable with lots of health benefits. ‘Sweet potato is considered an excellent source of dietary carotenoids, and polysaccharides, whose health benefits include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective activity, cardiovascular protection, anticancer properties and improvement in neurological and memory capacity, metabolic disorders, and intestinal barrier function. Moreover, the purple sweet potato, due to its high anthocyanin content, represents a unique food option for consumers, as well as a potential source of functional ingredients for healthy food products. (Emily P. Laveriano-Santos et.al., 2022 – Link to article in the description)’. The leaves are also edible and we mostly use them in stir-fries or as a spinach substitute, braised for a couple of minutes in a little butter and garlic. Yumm!
