Number three on my high calorie must grow foods is sweet
potato. At 114 calories per cup of diced sweet potato it is a good source of
carbs. However, sweet potato leaves are 65% carbs, 7% fat, and 28% protein.
They are a great source of edible plant protein. Most people to not know that
both the roots and leaves of the sweet potato are edible. This is why it is one
of my top calorie plants. Because you and easily grow vines from cutting of
existing vines. So you can create a large area of vines even if you do not get
much in the way of tubers. I am always fighting to get the protein count up in
the summer for my growing poultry. The vines pack a lot of protein when my
birds are really needing protein to grow.

Always purchase disease free where possible. You can grow
one from the store but you do not know what you are truly getting!
Breeding sweet potatoes
Sweet potatoes are self incompatible with themselves, and breeders now interplant 15 -20 varieties and allow the bumblebees to cross pollinate the flowers. You may get one or two seeds per capsule pod. Most of the seeds will produce junk!
