Review: These are delicious & 2 meals!! - I absolutely loved the purple sweet potatoes!!! I was surprised b/c they didn’t taste like traditional sweet potatoes but more like a regular white potatoes but absolutely delicious & I understand they are packed with nutrients!!! They arrived in great shape and 1/2 of one purple potato was enough for a full meal! A little butter, salt, & pepper… YUM!!!

### ⭐ WASTE OF YOUR MONEY
*by I***Z on August 13, 2021*

These purple sweet potatoes were old. For those of you who may know nothing about purple sweet potatoes, they are a vibrant violet color when they are good and within their prime. When purple potatoes are getting old, they lose their purple hues for a pastel purplie pink color. When they become purple beyond consumption or even available to propagate (growing slips aka long stems) to grow more purple sweet potato) their color then changes to pastel pinkish grey with off white spots inside; eventually leaving to turn all white or all light grey. I chopped mine upon arrival and they were already pinkish with off while spots. I decided to give it a shot juuuuuuust in case a miracle would occur. I soaked one in clean water before I attempted to propagate it by keeping it submerged in water and changed the water daily for over 2 weeks aaaaand nothing. Not a single root, not a single stem or leaf , not a thing. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY NOR TIME IF YOU ARE WISE! I wonder how long ago the ones I got were harvested? Mid 2020? Idk
