Introduction

When Sweet Potatoes are grown, you can use the greens just like you use all other kinds of greens! The benefit of these is that they don't have a bitter aftertaste, and when sauteed, they almost have a sweet buttery taste about them. SP didn't have Sweet Potato greens as an ingredient option, so I used Turnip Greens for the recipe calculator, but I'm sure the nutritional value is similar. This is a great fall fare that will surely be enjoyed! When Sweet Potatoes are grown, you can use the greens just like you use all other kinds of greens!
