I wish that a sweet potato vine could also bear fruits @solominer and that would also make it the most versatile food ever. We could then utilize both its spuds, young leaves, and the supposed fruit it that would happen.

But having to use the young leaves while it is growing and not having the spuds yet makes it a very good choice for cultivating it too :)

Hah yeah well the Sweet Potato is a special plant like that.. Its not like other Potatoes. Normally Potato leaves are not edible, but its awesome they are with these Sweet Potatoes.

I know White, Yellow and Red Potatoes can form a fruit but its poisonous. Never heard of the Sweet Potato flower forming a fruit.

Yep I love that too, eating the leaves of the Sweet Potato plant does not affect it that much. It grows so fast I dont think it even notices I leaf or two eaten.
