Sweet Potato - Kumara

$18.75 ($4.90-$18.75 choose a size)

An Heirloom variety thought to originate in Polynesia, though the variety is also to be found throughout New Zealand. Tubers tend to be as large as sweet potatoes, with red skin and ivory flesh heavily marbled throughout in violet. This colour intensifies upon cooking. Especially creamy, Kumara is superb either mashed or baked. Contains high levels of Anthocyanins which has been studied for it's benefits with Alzheimer's Disease though it is best to research this or speak with an expert. Leaves are small and emerald-green running from dark purple petioles, and can be eaten as a substitute for any leafy green, such as Kale or Spinach either fresh or steamed. The shoot tips are especially tender.

Sweet Potato

Be careful to avoid (ie cut off) any rot or fungus infected sweet potato. When stressed the tuber is know to produce toxins

Sweet Potato

Sweet potatoes try to develop tubers as soon as they start growing in soil. In the very infertile, sandy, sometimes saline soils of Sydney's Eastern Suburbs, it is a perennial and produces an average sized tuber every 2 months.

Sweet Potato

My sweet potato gets wiped out by frost, then just resprouts. Have the Beauregard variety, it is a perennial ground cover. The leaves are excellent in stir fries as well!

Sweet Potato

Its botanical name is Ipomoea batatas - not "batatus" and not "batters"! Curry the tuber with onion, ground coriander, little cumin, ginger

Sweet Potato

Low Groundcover : Plant as an edible groundcover between and under fruit/ nut trees and Arrowroot to make maximum use of sunlight.This is called 'Stacking'.So the lowest is Sweet Potato then higher up is the Arrowroot then higher up is the fruit tree .
