We are family of four who love to cook a variety of different ethnic foods from countries that we have visited. We cook healthy, organic recipes for Gluten and Dairy free allergies with lots of spice and flavor!
Sweet potatoes were grown in Polynesia and spread by vine cuttings instead of by seeds. They have been found in the Cook Islands as early as 1210 CE. The Polynesians spread them to Easter Island, Hawai'i and New Zealand by 1400 CE. They are now grown around the world.
If you grow them, their leaves are edible, prepared like spinach or turnip greens.
