Default Okinawan sweet potato- purple

I was at the asian grocery when I found this strange root. it was labled something like asian yam, but is sweet-potatoey... unassuming beige skin, hiding GORGEOUS purple flesh. got a small tray in the $1 (going soft) bin, and theyre great. just had one microwaved.

kinda the texture of red bean paste- not too sweet, but good enough to eat with nothing on it. used often in sweets from what ive seen online.

ive got one small tuber trying to sprout, and im going to put a 2nd in my worm bin (sprouts almost anything) and try to grow these out.

If youve got an asian grocery near you, you should try this vegetable!
