I ordered 2lbs of Japanese purple sweet potatoes, I received 3 potatoes and they weighed correctly. They all are in great condition! Thanks

Taste great less sweet than regular sweet potato but it's expensive

I wasn't sure if I was going to return these or not based solely on appearances but decided to cut them in half stick them in water and see what happens. I was overjoyed when I saw the first little roots a few days later, then after about a week they started sprouting. Even the knarly half that had a 90° bend & an old gash in it sprouted.

I will be planting some but I just had to eat one, soooo good!!

Update: it's been around 2 months and you can see all the slip I have. What I do is that as the slip grow from the sides of the cuts I planted and are tall enough I carefully lay them down without breaking them from the cut planted and put soil on top of each steam. I make sure leaf are showing and not buried. Then water again every other day well.
I live in florida but you can start them inside as long as you put them where they get sunlight and is warm. Then transplant outside in spring if you live in cold area. Make sure you have good soil and a little sandy and does not get hard so your sweet potatoes have room to expand.

I order 2- one pound. I got 3 heathy purple sweet potatoes. I guess altogether they weigh 2 pounds. I cut them in half and planted them in the grown with the cut side face up and being level with ground. I water every other day for one week and every 4 day after. It's been like 3 weeks and my sweet potatoes slip are all around my 6 cuts. This is the way my mom teach me and it works . I'm so happy I will have a lot of slips in a few months. I'm really happy with my purchase.
