Kireina, what do sweet potato leaves taste like raw? Can you use them in stir fries?

I could not explain it better but you'll love it 😊 if you love leafy vegetables ☺it tastes like spinach hmmm πŸ€” yeah closer to the taste of your spinach... it is best to use them in stir fries but you can cook them also with coconut milk,you can use them as salad...You can add them to your soup 🍲 etc

I've never seen it for sale in Oz. I looked at other google photo images, and one, probably because of the angle it was taken on, made the leaves look similar to a geranium. Sounds like it would go ok as a side with Indian curry and rice. Thanks for posting the photo, and the info.

Those limes look nice too. Do you juice those up for yourself?

I've got mandarins ready to pick now, and hopefully some carrots and shallots coming off the press next week.
 
I am not sure if u can find sweet potato leaves anywhere in the world lol in our markets sweet potatoe leaves are very common you can easily find them 😊 not a fan of curry because of its smell but yeah stir fried sweet potato leaves could go with curry I guess...



Nice! Happy planting sir 😊 I love mandarin 🍊 and πŸ₯•

Yes! Yesterday a liter of lemonade I added mint leaves too from my pot planted in the pot coz the last time I planted mint on the ground it died I didn't know why... πŸ€” same with shallots I could not grow them πŸ€”

Yum, that lemonade sounds nice and refreshing. πŸ˜‹

I can empathise with you, I have trouble growing things in the ground here, the soil is very sandy. About the only veggie-like things I can get to grow out of it are tomatoes. For some reason I can't seem to get tomatoes to grow very well in pots. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

The carrots, shallots, potatoes, lettuce and rocket grow ok in raised garden beds here, but I can't get tomatoes or beans to grow in them. I can't figure it out! πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

Do you have any special PH stir fry recipes you can recommended?

Thank you 😊


Hmmm... you can stir fry lettuce with just garlic and a little olive oil and add tauju (a Chinese preserved soya I don't know how to explain (but it is soft and salty) ...I do that all the time just don't overcook it...Well,lettuces are nice and usually used for salad but stir frying them will be OK and not bad...

Our PH leafy vegetables are mostly found in Philippines only but there are vegetables we have in Philippines like carrots,sweetgourd(sayote),pumpkin,cauliflower etc which are good for Stir frying and I guess those vegetables I mentioned can be found in other countries especially where you are right now...


I know quite a lot of Ph recipes and some foreign recipes ☺ but you can check YouTube to find them 😊


Anyways I talked so much already Have a blessed day sir Thanks for your interest in our food. Nice talking to you about plants πŸͺ΄

Youβ€˜re welcome. Thank you for your postings and suggestions. I do check YouTube and other sites out for recipes, but it’s great getting advice from the β€˜natives’ 😊

I usually knock a stir fry up from whatever I have in the garden and in the pantry. It generally works out ok, I think!
It’s hard to mess up a stir fry, even for me. πŸ™„
