Thanks for this. The sweet potato vines in my garden are overflowing. I had no idea they were used as a stir fry. Love the idea of adding garlic and miso. I will try this.

After watching this I can't wait to harvest the leaves of my sweet potatoes which I just randomly plant coz it was growing in my kitchen.Thank you Windy!

Thank you, going to try this tonight. My neighbor at our community garden just gave me a bunch of sweet potato leaves, and they are all clean now and ready to cook.

Thanks Wendi, yesterday I didn't know that we can eat the sweet potato leaves, now I can't wait to try your recipe. Thanks for the recipe and the tip about rice wine vinegar and miso. That's so great. (My sweet potatoes sprouted, and now I know what to do).

You're the greatest! Been years since I grew SPs, but they are on the list again. Thanks for the love, wisdom and inspiration!

This is now my favorite recipe for Sweet potato leaves !! So good - thank you!

I started following you because I love the part of how you cook and prepare your harvest. What to add to it. How to do it. More like this would so cool. It’s so simplified and down, ready to eats.

Just planted my first Sweet Potato crop for the season, and looking forward to giving this a try once they start growing! Thanks for the video Wendi! Happy Gardening Marty Ware (from Australia)

Hello Wendi, and thank you so much for this video. Thanks to you, I've been enjoying my sweet potato greens all summer. I love them! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

Wow! Thanks for posting this video. My Mom & some other nature folks used to tell us about sweet potato leaves, but I never learnt how to prepare them. This makes so much sense, there's good nutritious foods all around us, if only we paid closer attention.

Jus planted my 12 slips 2 weeks ago, using your videos on sweet potatoes 🍠 thank you! Can’t wait to Harvest both tubers and leafs 😋

I grew lots of sweet potatoes this summer, from which I have tons of leaves but I’ve never tried cooking or eating them. Thanks for sharing this video, I’m definitely gonna give it a try.

Super informative - I've got sweet potatoe vines climbing everywhere - it's the only thing rocking in the garden. I figured there were some potatoes under there, but I just learned that the greens are edible! So stoked. I can have steamed greens probably every day for a month!

filipino cuisine boiled and add ginger chop onion pepper and vinegar as side dish salad.

Hi Wendy, I tried these greens once. They were greasy and spicy, I didn’t like them but still wanted to try growing sweet potatoes. You’re recipe looks amazing and I can’t wait to try it! It’s great to know I don’t have to waste my leaves!😋🌱

This looks so tasty! I wasn't paying attention at the grocers and grabbed yam/sweat potato leaves instead of spinach. What a pleasant surprise to see how easy it is too cook these up! Thanks for sharing this video :3

Thank you! I just got several bags of sweet potato leaves from a neighbor and was wondering how to prepare them.

It is amazing that you have so much in your garden. Sweet potato leaves are packed with nutrients!

Thank you for also sharing the nutritional value, good to know

I want to thank you for this video. Yours was the first one that I came across a few years ago where I discovered that you can eat sweet potato leaves. This year I have a great many patches started and I'm going to trim back some vines tomorrow as some are creeping over their borders - and I came back to remind myself how to cook a big batch lol. I have the ones with the more ornamental leaves - they look so pretty.

Relatively new to your Channel but I'm LOVING IT!! Potato Leaves Are AWESOME. Think I may try your recipe. Thank you for always providing good content.

Delicious! I love sweet potato leaves. I planted cuttings 2 weeks ago from a bundle of the veggie that I bought at the wet market. Getting bushier now, soon harvestable. I normally stir fry or cook as a watery soup or cook it in creamy coconut milk. When stir fry, I stir fry the leaves in pounded garlic-onion-chili-dried anchovies (or dried shrimp)-shrimp paste. These stuff coarsely pounded. As a watery soup, boil water till boiling, add salt, sugar, stock cubes (beef or chicken or fish), onion, garlic, chili and finally the veggie (I seperated leaves from stems and leaf stalks, add the stalk/stems first, then leaves). For coconut milk gravy, just add the coconut milk to the watery soup.

Definitely need to try this!

Ooh wow, this is cool, we eat this in Congo 🇨🇩 as well , we call it Matembele 😊

Thank you for sharing! So excited to try this!😁

Omg that looks delish! I've had sweet potato shootz blanched with tomato onion patis & opai it is so delish my mouth is watering thanks for the awesome video👍🏼

Oh boy! I'm going to try that recipe! Thanks!

I recently just learned we can eat the greens of sweet potatoes and they are extremely healthy and beneficial for us! I'm so glad I found your channel and video on how to harvest and cook them! I plan to share this new knowledge on a LiVE Stream in a few minutes when I show our sweet potatoes growing in an aquaponic system on top of our 10 gallon fish aquarium! Thanks for sharing! ❤️

Great video i just startedsome today trying to get sprouts. Looks delicious definitely getting miso paste

Never heard of this-awesome to learn!

The lighting when you prepped the garlic!❤️😍

UP DATE : THIS WORKS with sweet potato leaves or moringa leaves : Cook field peas in a pressure cooker remove from heat and let cool a little > turn them into gravy with a commercial stick blender > add RAW sweet potato or fresh (or frozen RAW moringa leaves) > use the stick blender to fine grind the leaves into the gravy > grate fresh ginger over the gravy stir the ginger in and eat >>>you will feel very strong and energetic !!!

My wife and I started a pretty decent sized garden this year and one of things we planted was sweet potatoes. I've never heard about eating sweet potato leaves so this video is quite a find. I'm going to go out and right now and pick some leaves and cook them up tonight. We love eating collards and other greens like mustard greens so I hope it's a very similar. thank you.

Thank you! Awesome and simple with alternatives explained.

Very good...sweet potatoes are amazing plants...they have saved people around the world more than once. Thanks for the vid Wendi.

Thank you! We eat these leaves in Liberia too. It's my first time having fresh ones at my disposal, but I had no idea how to harvest them

i love you wendy.. take care always!

I discovered your blog today and loving it 🙏🙏🌸🌸🌸

Thank you so .much for explaining exactly how to use them!!!

Thank you for enjoying sweet potatoe leaves. I love to eat it as well!!! 😘🤗🤗🤗🤗

Yummy looking... I also grew sweet potato when it germinated after I had left it uncooked. Put it in a huge pot and the vines grew wild. I made a delicious south Indian curry. I never knew till then that even the vines of this plant are just as great... Thanks for sharing your recipe

Great video. Thank you. Will be doing this, this fall.

i ate mine first time tonight. it was sooo good! i wish i had know about this my whole life, the vines are so easy to grow huge amounts.

I am going to try this soon, since I am growing sweet potatoes in a little raised bed in the back yard.

Just put 12 oz water in blender add some Frontier herbs tomato powder and throw in a couple of handfuls of moringa leaves pack with a carrot No nausea tastes meaty good protein boost I feel wonderful strong and ready !!! BTW Wendi is wonderful 🙂👍

Thanks so much for sharing what you do! I have a ton of sweet potato leaves in my yard and just learned that I could eat them! :-)

Thanks for this. Timeless info.

Great video! I did not know we can eat sweet potato leaves.. I need to try. Looks ymmy

Love your video's thanks for sharing, I had no idea you could eat sweet potato leaves, to think I used to throw them in the compost......cheers

I just harvested my okinawan purple sweet potatoes and snapped off the leaves. Looking for a good recipe, I came across your video. Thank you so much! I might doctor it up a little more, but definitely will be adding the miso... best stuff in the world!

Love that cute sweater! I have two different sweet potato plants (leaves differ in shape). I think this is because I've started plants from random potatoes that sprouted in the pantry. Are they all edible, or only certain strains of sweet potatoes?

Sweet potato leave are now my favorite crop to grow in Central Florida. I even add the stems to my fried Okra in bacon grease.

I have been cooking leaves but will now look for the Miso ingredient, I am not vegan but really don't enjoy red meat so leafy vegetables are a good replacement adding citrus which from my research allows the iron etc to be absorbed into the body. I will now look at your videos just found you which is great. I'm 65 and still experimenting. Thanks Rosemary

Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this video Wendi

That looks very delicious!

I tried growing regular potato on Oahu, but they got blight and died. However, I didn't have any problems with Molokai sweet potatoes. Also, I bought some 11 inch fruit bags for my beef steak tomatoes and it worked. The fruit flies couldn't sting them, so I got a good harvest.

It's good in any sea food soup, especially pampano soup. I jus toss it right on top of the soup right when it's done cooking.

Thank you for the wonderful recipe! I have a question, I am growing sweet potato leaves using a sprouted sweet potato from Costco (Nature's Pride). I noticed the leaves are a bit different than the ones presented in your video...do the evangaline variety also have edible leaves? I read somewhere that the seeds and possibly the stems could contain an LSD-like compound, but I can't find much information on which specific varieties are safe! :/ Thanks Again! :)

Hey Wendi, that was delicious!! I used Okinawan sweet potato shoots and added some Mahi Mahi to my miso before I cooked them, and added a dash of crushed Hawaiian chili peppers at the end... besides that I stuck to your recipe and have a happy belly! Thank-you for your hard work on presenting this video/recipe👏💙🌼🌊🌅🌈

Hi, Ive been harvesting a lot of my leaves as well, but wondering if the tubers will still grow well. Or should I grow in different beds, one for the leaves and another for tubers where I dont harvest the leaves?

Thanks for all the info. I'm excited to plant my sprouting sweet potato in a large pot. Are the flowers edible too?

Thank u for sharing. I will be trying my sweet potato leaves soon as they're ready to harvest. Yum. But my leaves aren't a dark green. Lighter/brighter. I wonder why? They are plentiful ,look healthy. They were planted 2 months ago.

Thank you! You are so awesome! Your videos are so beautiful! Are these the leaves of the Stokes purple potato you are cooking? Thanks.

uuuuuum!!! some is good! thanks for sharing👍

I am growing sweet potato this summer, very exiting! On balconies..☺

Amazing. Didn’t know the leaves were edible. I shall try cooking this, thank you.

Hmmmmm...I'm growing sweet potatoes and wasn't sure if the beautiful leaves were edible. VOILA! I found your channel and now I am looking forward to stir frying those leaves when it's time to harvest the sweet potatoes! 🌱Also, thanks for demonstrating how to do that! 👍🏾

Awesome video. I never knew this thank you for the information. Is all types of sweet potato leave good to eat?

Nice! I just ordered some miso for the first time, I've never had it before. I'm growing these sweet potato greens in my house LOL. Hoping to have something to eat harvested in my living room! 🤣

Thank u for this video. I had heard you could eat these leaves but it was only after I had already fed them to the chickens last year. This year, I want to cook and try them out. Question: have you ever frozen these and, if so, did you cook them first and then freeze them?

Looks so delicious! I do my potato leaves same as your recipe, but for the miso, I use anchovies paste, delicious. Try it. 😀

I enjoy miso so I definitely want to try this. Now, I'm not sure if I got this correctly, but did you say only to take the younger leaves and leave the older ones? Also, I'm wondering how many leaves I can harvest without negatively affecting the root production?

I love sweet potato leaves just blanch it and put some fermented fish,onion,ginger,hot pepper and vinegar hmmm yummy...thank you for this i will try this recipe

Hi. In the Philippines, we cooked the young leaves for soups, sautéed or even salad. enjoy!

Love the simple recipe! I have a suggestion for prepping sweet potato leaves ... I cut them into strips so it's less awkward than eating long strings of leaves.

waah.. sungguh enak, di jawa daun ubi dimasak disebut brambang asem, javanese recipe to cook brambang asem: potato leaves (daun ubi jalar) onions (bawang merah/brambang) chili pepers (cabe rawit) curly peppers (cabe kriting) tamarind (asem jawa) palm sugar (gula jawa), salt (garam), shrimp paste (terasi)... so tender and succulent

I was going to ask about the texture, but you answered that...textures! There are now a few varieties of Sweet Potato that will grow in the shorter growing seasons of Canada, so I'll try this. Question: can you harvest a few leaves from each plant while the Sweet Potatoes are growing or is it best to wait until they are mature?

Wow, sure I will try

Looks so good

The leaves melt in your mouth. I love it. My australian grass keets love it too. I'd like to add that doing keto for 2 years I cannot eat spinach or carrots any more. They are too sweet and gross.

guuu I wish I could have got to this amazing video sooner lol I hope I can grow sweet potatoes next year.btw love your videos 😊

Thanks for sharing Wendi. We eat our sweet potato leaves too. Best wishes Bob.

Hi! So you can eat the leaves and their stems BUT can you eat the vine part as well? I do not want to waste any part of the plant if I do not have to. I read something about it being poisonous?

Hi , thank you for sharing your recipe. I was wondering is this shoots are from regular sweet potatoes(red outside and white inside) or only the purple sweet potatoe shoots can be eaten? I've been growing regular store ones.

Looks good, thank you for sharing

Thank you for this video, it was very informative and I'm going to look for these greens when I'm visiting Florida [I'm from Canada]. Also I'm wondering, can these greens be used in a tossed salad, or do they need to be cooked? Thanks!

I really enjoy watching your videos because you're very calming and sweet and you give off such positive and happy energy. It really makes me happy =)

That looks great :) Thanks for sharing! liked!

wow! I'm a first time viewer of your Chanel and I just Subscribed...I noticed some sweet potato shoots in my grocery store today and had no idea that they were edible! I've been waiting to harvest my potatoes but now that I know I can eat those shoots...it's time to trim them lol😉 and cook um up with your recipe! 🌼🌊🌅🌈💙 here in Hawaii👍

They are good additional veggie for maggi chicken noodles for a quick meal

Hey what variety of sweet potatoes is this? I am looking for the one you have but I keep finding finger-maple-leaf looking leaved ones

I am planting a red yam in the big pot. It is sprouting like crazy now. Can you eat the red yam leaves? I noticed that your plant have green leaves and not very pointy. Mine is reddish, purply and pointy.

Love your videos! Question where are the sweet potato leaves the orange sweet potatoes? I watched your purple potato videos. And I'm excited to try. I am in Central Florida. Thanks honey

I love it steamed on top of rice for 6 minutes and dip it on any salty sour sauce.

Hi. Never heard of it. But today I'm gonna try it. Looks good. We grow it here in Curaçao but we only eat the patato. So am going to try it. Thanhs

Cool that’s how we stir fry our leaves too 👍👍👍

That is great work,Kudos

I'm going to try I never knew grew up around lots sweet potatoes their leave 👍☺

Awesome video. I'm gunna do this with my vine out the back

Hi there! I just started planting and in the back of the house, I planted a couple of Hannah Sweet Potato. But I am not sure if all types of sweet potato leaves are edible, is it? Right now, it has green and dark purple leaves growing.
