3 reasons to eat sweet potato greens
Antioxidant properties
Sweet potatoes have been found to contain a high amount of antioxidants, making it suitable in combating inflammatory problems like asthma, arthritis, gout, etc. Also,vitamin C makes it great for fighting off free radicals thus preventing premature aging and disease.
Reduces inflammation
The high beta carotene content in sweet potato is the key anti-inflammatory compound that makes it a natural painkiller. You can eat it steamed, or juiced to benefit from its painkilling properties.
Regulates blood glucose levels
The leaves of sweet potato are suitable for diabetic consumption as it contains a very good blood sugar regulator that helps to stabilize and lower insulin resistance.

The way we cook the sweet potatoes leaves it’s like salad but we blanch it, we put fresh onion, tomatoes, little vinegar and fish sauce and if you have lemon you can add lemon, that is one of the popular Filipino dish in the Philippines
Hi I'm from West Africa, Liberia and this is one of our everyday soup but learning this recipe today is a blessing for my family because I grow this in my backyard so doing this is going to be costless.

Barbara Thom In Ivory Coast (side country of liberia) we boil the leaves 20 minutes and squeeze them. We make a "tomato sauce" with a little bit of palm red oil, garlic, tomato, onion, chili, shrimp powder, meat and pour the leaves into it. Sorry english is not my first language

Oh my goodness, Stacy...I just cooked those up using your recipe and...Absolutely delicious!! (I was out of maple syrup, so I substituted and used some honey I just harvested.) 👍👍👍
This is a new one on me! I was always told they were toxic and inedible. Nice to know they can be eaten because they are so easy to grow.

I had made a bulalo soup (filipino dish). I had use the sweet potato leaves as a replacement for bokchoy. It turned out delicious. I tried your recipes for sweet potato leave and husband said "Wow". Thank you❤
Wow, thank you so much. At 72, and a retired RN, It's great to watch your video and learn something new everytime.
Dr McDougall said we can live off potatoes and sweet potatoes that they have all the nutrients in them thanks for sharing all your information as well Doug and Stacy we love sweet potatoes well any kind of potato 🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔🥔
I never thought about eating sweet potato greens. Gonna have to try em out.
Thank you Doug for all your work in building the outdoor kitchen... So Love it and such a beautiful job and backdrop for the great cooking vids ... Love to you both❤💕
Thank you Stacy for not only Sharing your garden knowledge but then to take us into your kitchen and help us to learn how to prepare. The ideas are invaluable❤️😃❤️👍🏽
Never thought of this. Thanks Guys!! Growing some next year!
Wow. You know, in my mind I was smelling those unions and garlic. Then those chops... wow, what a feast. All fresh, organic and so wholesome. I made gee and love it. I will give this recipe a try. We have lots of sweet potatoes vines. I don't think I could cook on rage that high and use a cast iron pan. You are one tough lady Stacy. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the great information! I’ll certainly have to try this recipe! ❤
Love sweet potatoes. Will try growing them next season. Thanks for all the info on them. Always enjoy your videos
Thanks for the recipe. I never would have thought of maple syrup. Will give it a try when I get a chance.
Thank you Stacy, I loved this recipe and I cannot wait to try it out with what I am able to obtain from the store. I think you guys are awesome and I thank you for making time to do these videos. Many of my CO friends grew their vegetables and your videos bring back sweet memories.
Great information! We have that same camp stove except we got ours in red. We have had it for a couple of years but have yet to try it out but love knowing I have it for baking breads when solar power is low and if public electricity is not available

I meant to add: That is one beautiful meal! I was feeling the same about the elk burgers I made last night. So much of the meal came from our own garden, the elk was local caught by some friends that we helped out and they gifted us with a good amount of the burger, and the eggs used in the mayo and in the burgers were from our own chickens and the buns I made myself from home milled organic flour. Wonderful feeling that just keeps getting better with each new homemade and/or home raised thing we get to add :)
I haven't had this before, but sure will have to give a try.Thanks for the video :)
Stacy I think you could use an extra little table/shelf that's about 1 foot lower than your prep table so that you can set the camp chef on that and be able to more easily reach and see the pots as you are cooking on the burners. I'm sure you know someone who could make a little stand just for that! :)

That recipe looks fantastic I have to try it.☺️
Looks delicious. Thanks fir the seasoning ideas, we are growing some and that will be the first dish for the family.
It looks great and will be trying it in the future. What an amazing feeling to know you grew most of your meal. What an accomplishment.
That meal looks like a winner. Well done on the garden. Thank you for sharing.
I love sweet potatoes leaves...my grandma always cooked them and every time I can I get my hands on some...oh, yummmm! Ty 👍👍👍
THANK YOU STACY. I'VE BEEN WAITING TO COOK MY SWEET POTATO GREENS FOR A LONG TIME. JUST HAVEN'T HAD THE NERVE TO YET. NOW I CAN'T WAIT TO TRY THEM.
Thank you! So much good information!
Delicious! Some people do not eat the greens. I love them!😊 Great video 🎉
Awesome job you two!!
I just picked some sweet potato greens and purple tree collards. I am mixing with this recipe. I have never seen greens this way. Looks so good. Thanks I love trying new recipes.
Thank you I will try it.
Yea! Thank you for the info!
I tried this recipe and I absolutely love it. I’m making it for the second time today
Thank you Stacy we have a yard full of sweet potatoes so will be trying this recipe I knew you can eat them but was unsure on how to cook them.
Thanks for your awesome information! I am trying this!
Good looking greens and a great yummy looking meal thanks for sharing it with us
I had no idea you could eat sweet potato leaves! So going to try this. Thanks as always for great tips!
Looks delicious - Thanks guys!
Awesome recipe! I like the stems from the sweet patato leaves, too and never chop them off.
Another great recipe thank you Stacy and I love your outdoor kitchen have a blessed day
Great recipe. Thank u
Fantastic vid. Love the camp chef you might want to have Doug build you a little step so you can step up to cook on the burners when you want. Love the recipe for the greens and the lamb looked soooo good. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for doing this one, I've been waiting to see how it was done. It reminds me of the way my mother used to "wilt" greens. She often cooked bacon, keeping the grease in the pan, then adding sugar and vinegar. She did this with lettuce and spinach from the garden. I remember she tried it with beet greens, but we didn't like it, so we never had them that way again. My little crop of sweet potatoes seems to have sent the vines out of the containers and the vines have put down roots. I hope that mean extra potatoes. if not, at least my little garden area has lots of green in it. Thank you again for showing us how to cook the vines. Blessings

It does mean more potatoes if your season is long enough! They will begin to fruit at the new roots if left long enough!
Can't wait to try this! We've only had sweet potato greens mixed with other greens and a little garlic, salt, and butter. Adding the onions, vinegar and syrup sounds delicious. Thanks so much for sharing this!!
My grandma made some amazing wilted greens no garlic add smoked diced meats! Yum!
Going to try your recipe for the Leaves...Thank You Doug and Stacy💛💛
I love sweet potatoes. I have always had a hard time growing them. I try every year. Hopefully this year I will get a good harvest. I can't wait to try the greens too.
That looks delicious! I learn something new every day from you two! I might need to get one of those ovens..
I just made this recipe! I've never had it. I never knew I could eat sweet potatoe leaves! I love them! I'll take any other recipes ya have for me to try them!
Finally got sprouts on the sweet potatoes, end of May I can get them in. Sure look better than ones I've bought at the feed and garden store. Thanks for the tips on sprouting, tried both ways and the laying them in potting soil really worked great.
He there I will try your recipe for sweet potato greens. Looks delicious.
I have never eaten the greens from sweet potatoes but after seeing this, I will have to say they looked good so I will have to try them.
always a great video from you guys . your dinner looked awesome . i never knew you could eat sweet potato greens . i learn something new every time i watch you guys . keep up the great videos . hugs from michigan !!!
great video guys. i have been eating sweet potato leaves like crazy this summer. i did the starts the way you showed how in your sweet potato video a couple years ago. i works so well and great to grow free food! because of my nickel sensitivity, i actually grew sweet potatoes on my front porch this summer for the leaves, not the potatoes, but for the leaves. so far my experiments have shown me that i can't eat any greens except dandelion greens and sweet potato leaves without breaking out in blisters.
Thank you I will need to try these
I know this is several years old, but we are just starting to grow sweet potatoes and am learning how to cook the leaves. Great recipe. Will be trying it within the next few days. Here is Florida it is hard to grow spinach. It never seems to get cool enough, but the sweet potatoes are taking over our yard and I figure we can have an endless supply of greens and sweet potatoes if we are careful. :)
By the way.. love your videos.. you guys are awesome!!
Great recipe, dinner looks delicious!! Thank you for sharing
Looks very yummy!
Yes I've had them. They're delish
Very nice! Thanks for the demonstration! Yep, nothing more satisfying than growing ALL your own food! cheers! 🌱
Can't wait to try it
Great video... We WILL be trying this for sure.... So, when are you going to come out with your own Cook Book.... your meals always look Amazing and i can only imagine the flavor. Thanks for the Video. have a great day
wow great video!! I have to try this
Looks delicious! I have not grown sweet potatoes but will certainly grow them next season. Nice video!
I love this video! Thanks for sharing it
Yes! Another leafy green to add to our diet!
Looks great guys👍🏻🥂
Looks yummy. I have had different greens before but never sweet potato greens. On my list to try this summer.
That looks good. I'll check it out!
First time growing sweet potatoes and the family are rolling eyes when I say I'm going to cook the leaves. Had to rewatch for the courage and first shot to get the recipe right so they'll eat again. Wish me luck😋
Here in Florida, sweet potatoes are one of the only things we can grow in the summer. Thanks for this awesome video.
I need those dishes!
Wow great video!!
Wow that looks like a great recipe and I'm looking forward to trying it out myself. You had mentioned a couple links one for ghee and one for salsa that I didn't see pop up in the video but as always lots of great information thanks

I have sweet potatoes growing and never thought about eating the "greens" Going to have to try this one before our frost comes...
I dry the tip of the vine leaves; last 3 to 7 leaves. Then I powder them and sprinkle in so many soups, casseroles, skillet veggies, etc. all winter long. Love 'em! I also have been making raisins with those cherry tomatoes. I douse them in powdered spices; garlic, onion, red pepper, barbeque seasoning(my favorite), cumin, curry, etc. I make garlic parmesan, barbeque, and chili flavors. They aren't potato chips, they're tomato chips if liquefied with big tomatoes! They aren't raisins, they're tomasins (?) for the cherry romas and others! And they are delicious. Just cut them in half so they dry in time. Thank you!

Hi SewHappy! The first couple of times I just used my ton of baby cherry romas. I cut them in half and doused them . . . garlic, onion, honey, barbeque spices that I was given, a little charcoal salt, red pepper flakes, cayenne powder, rosemary, salt, um, I think that's it . . . season to taste. I am not a pepper lover but maybe you could include some of these chipped up. I slice the tomatoes in half and slather them in the spices, and put them in the dryer. There is some totally good for you powdered sulpher you can use to discourage mold if you make a bunch and don't want to store in fridge. Don't get them too dry, leave a little chewy in it. They will be sticky when done; I use a little of the powdered spices plus a little pure cane organic sugar in the bottom of a bag to shake them in and coat them. Helps keep them from sticking and gives a burst of initial flavor before chewing. Then I had regular tomatoes to add to the mix. Essentially I did the same only it was juicier. I used parchment paper in the bottom of the dryer and slowly basted with the spicy liquid. I've been experimenting with other flavors. Last time, I even added some flax seed to add crunch . . . I liked it! I would imagine some chia or other seeds and small nut chunks might be very satisfying. Rain Country has an amazing video on tomato leather that also has these possibilities. Enjoy and God Bless!

Wow this awesome didn't know you can eat the Greens . THANK YOU Stacy 😊
Looks wonderful. And you did grow it yourself, even the lamb. Sorry to say I have only tried lamb once, many, many years ago. I bought it from a local store and cooked the chops myself. They were absolutely horrible and I couldn't eat more than a bite. I have never had the nerve to try them again. I am positive I did something wrong, and hope to have the courage to try them again one day. You two make them look so delicious. Thanks!
Thank you for your time. Good job well done.✌
I did not know sweet potatoe leaves were "greens". Gods bounty just is everywhere. Thank you for showing how to prepare this. The rest looks wonderful too. I'll be right over for dinner!!! (Seriously Stacy you could do a cooking show, and outcook Hell's kitchen, or anyone really). Love your channel!
Awesome! We love to eat our sweet potato greens too! I prefer their flavor over regular greens!
Sweet potatoes are doing really well this year, so I dug up this old video to see how Stacy prepares the greens. Fixin to give it a try....
This year I've been trimming back the runners, keeping growth contained to the long mound that we've planted our sweet potatoes in. Trimming and then cooking the tender ends have given us one more thing from the garden to eat.
Love your kitchen!!
Love your homestead=simplicity==best wishes to you all.
thank you for this video i have been wanting to eat some of my sweet potato leaves but didnt know how to cook them and i also want to know can we freeze them like you would spinach and the other leafy greens
just wanted to let you know I used this method for kale which I do not normally like but they turned out great
I LOVE sweet potato greens. They are a 'green' that loves the summer heat!
I love broccoli leaves (reminds me of collard greens) had no idea you could eat sweet potato leaves. Gonna have to give them a try. I believe in eating as much of the whole plant as possible.

Sweet potatoes carry an extremely high amount of Oxalates. I get kidney stones but I have beat them by making sure to drink lots of fresh water to dilute the oxalates. I have not had stones for over 10 years.. Just in case folks would like to know. I was tired of denying myself of SP but now I grow them. You have helped with some aspects like the leaves. I even grow them indoors...Thanks for your great videos
