Not only does the Stokes Purple Sweet Potato provide a nutritious side dish, but it is also helping some Stokes County North Carolina farmers keep their farm land in production.

Anwar aka Quranite, I removed my comments because I thought it would be futile to debate you, not that I made any error. To be clear, we have never claimed to have anyone in our company or on the video to be full blooded Cherokee or Saura. I said that our President’s 4x-great grandfather was full blooded Cherokee and I’m positive he’s not in the video. I understand that our President is not full blooded Cherokee, there is no misconception there. He just has pride in his heritage.

@johnsyoung I see you removed the comment so I guess you realized the error of your statement. NO one in that video was FULL-BLOODED Cherokee or Saura. Because those people when they were full-blooded and not mixed with Europeans DID NOT look anything like Europeans. But again I love the sweet-potato. Being an official member of the tribe, or living among them, and having Native American blood does NOT make you FULL-BLOODED. That is a widespread MISconception.

I just received the 20 lb package via UPS. Superb indeed. We cooked it after chopping it up with some glutinous rice balls in coconut milk (a traditional Philippine recipe). WOW ! I told my wife that this royal purple sweet potato is fit for a king ! She is quite impressed that now we are giving some of it as a gift to friends.

Thank you.

Very smart decision to grow purple sweet potatoes indeed ! Once you tasted this purple variety of sweet potatoes, the rest is second best. The price of this purple potatoes in Asian grocery stores is almost double per pound. How come the regular non-Asian grocery chain don't sell them ? By the way, you can sell the potato leaves like any other vegetables like kale, cabbage, etc. in Asian stores. I'm glad to know that the tobacco farmers are 'rescued' by this plant.
