Sweet Potato

Description

iPhone 11 - Metashape The sweet potato or sweetpotato (Ipomoea batatas) is a plant that belongs to the bindweed or morning glory family. Its large, starchy, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots are used as a root vegetable. The young shoots and leaves are sometimes eaten as greens. The sweet potato is distantly related to the common potato. Although the darker sweet potatoes are often referred to as "yams" in parts of North America, the species is not closely related to true yams. Cultivars of the sweet potato have been bred to bear tubers with flesh and skin of various colors.
