Sweet potato leaves, ravim-bomanga

Here is another type of sweet potato leaves. You can find out on the net everything about the plant and all its nutritional values if you wish but I would like to just give you few examples of how I would eat them.

  • Eat them raw as if they were for salads.
  • Quickly boil them in water to get a sort of clear soup (ro).
  • Stir fry them with onions and garlic.
  • My favourite one is cooked with patsa mena or dried dwarf red shrimp. This is a typical malagasy dish eaten with rice.

My main purpose here is not to give you recipes but to rather encourage you to incorporate them in your daily food. Plant some, eat them fresh from your garden as often as you can and let me know how you are doing! It is fully packed with good nutrition and you cannot go wrong.
