The Stokes purple are NOT the healthiest sweet potatoes as you assert. They may have the highest levels of those particular antioxidants in your chart but for whatever reason these potatoes are drastically lower in vitamin A than the Okinawan and regular sweet potatoes, as well as lower in potassium than regular sweet potatoes, etc.

In reply to BEVERLY. You can purchase purple sweet potato plants from Daleys Nursery in Kyogle - check their website. They are so easy to grow.

Fats may have lots of calories, but they are essential to eat with vegetables so we can absorb the fat soluble vitamins in them. No fats means lower nutritional value.

We love purple sweet potatoes! Every time we cook them they come out very soft and tasty but they quickly (within minutes) they become very hard. We cook them in an Instant Pot for about 20 minutes then natural release the pressure for about 15-20 minutes. Any ideas as to why these harden up?

A friend of my son just gave him and long brown stem and a bunch of purple sweet potatoes (about ten) all sizes. I cut off two and boiled them. now I will figure out how to eat. I live in Arizona. I will have to ask my son if these are grown here in Arizona….

In reply to BEVERLY. Don't know about the Gold Coast but I bought some (Okinawan) today at Lawnton Country Markets (a shop actually, Brisbane northside). Got a 1.6kg bag for $1.99! So they're around. Ask your local fruit and veg to source some for you, they probably get them from the same place (Rocklea). Haven't cooked them before, looking for recipes. Good luck!

I always boil sweet potatoes completely submerged for exactly 20 mins, low fire. In a stainless pot. Will it decrease the nutrition value with boiling compared to baking?

We have local farmers here in the Raleigh NC area selling these at the Raleigh farmer’s market. I bought a couple this weekend, in case anyone lives in this area
