The Okinawan Sweet Potato. My Allan is obsessed with all things Hawaiian. Our last trip we had some of these very sweet and delicious purple sweet potatoes. The other day we were passing a market and he said, 'lets see if they have Okinawa potatoes.' We parked and straight in front of us was a sign that said Hawaiian Purple Sweet Potatoes. So we bought quite a few. Some to eat. Some to plant. Tonight I suspended them in water with toothpicks. Yes, they really are this purple. Delicious and beautiful.

Wow! I've never seen purple sweet potatoes!
They are SOOOOO purple and so delicious. I think you will love them. Very sweet.
I'd have to eat mine with my eyes shut!
Hi Erin
I got some in my veggie box this week. I really liked them and want to grow them too. I came across your blog and I wonder how yours are growing. Can you share some growing tips?
Hi Virginia
It was a dismal failure. The potato started moulding. I did the toothpick and water glass style of starting sweet potatoes. I would love to know if you have any luck. They are so delicious.
