When I was young, my parents used to grow this sweet potato once in a year. It used to be in a very small quantity, which was just sufficient for our personal use. Harvesting sweet potato was a real joy for us. We used to watch it and enjoy, when my Father and my elder brother were digging it. Whole atmosphere was filled with exclamations like..Hey look there!..look here!..one big!..one small!..so many!..wow!..white!..Red!. I feel kids growing in the village get to learn many things and understand the values of life.
We used to enjoy cooked sweet potatoes. Either cook them in salt water or cook them in charcol. My Mother used to prepare many dishes like payasa, papad, sambar, stir fry, sasuve, etc.,
Sweet potatoes are good for health, especially for growing kids. They are rich in fibre, vitamins and minerals. So try to include sweet potatoes in your diet.
