You have to try the purple & orange-fleshed sweet potatoes! They taste great & nutrient dense!

  • They are rich in Beta carotene (great for your eyes) and anthocyanin ( A great Anti-oxidant) respectively.
    I want to scale the production of these two sweet potato varieties so that they become accessible to any household in Kenya. The Orange- fleshed Sweet potato is rich in Beta Carotene which is critical for your eyes, whereas the purple one is known for its rich anti-oxidant capabilities.

    I am an Iranian scientist. Sweet potatoes are very much underutilized.
    One of the first things to do with Sweet potato is to make them tetraploidy like potatoes.
    Great job sister you are very smart and on the right track.

Now i want to see a video of you harvesting those potatoes. I live in the caribbean and i cant find the purple variety anywhere

    I noticed that what i was going to add has already been pointed out by at least two commentators. My friend from the DRC has a one hect plot i helped him lease, just outside Pretoria in South Africa. I was waiting to consume his sweet potatoes, as is the norm in Kenya. Lo and behold it came to me as a surprise that in the DRC they cook the leaves of the sweet potatoes as a foodstuff!!! With proper cooking instructions, we not only discovered a delicious and nutritious food.

    This is an old video, so I don't expect an answer, but I have to ask why you would buy sweet potato chits after your first harvest? If you started with certified chits, then the potatoes should be fine to take them from. Probably be able to produce enough to plant your acre with 20 potatoes or so. Not a critique, just curious as to your reason.
