Who doesn't like sweet potatoes?
Sweet potato is considered as one of the cheapest and common food in my country, Indonesia. It is easy to grow and available anytime of the year, colourful and easy to proceed to be delicious meals.

my family's favourite dish made from orange sweet potato, KOLAK.

BUT...
I won't talking about the benefit of sweet potatoes😆 my concern is to the saviour of lazy day at the kitchen, limited shopping budget and the need to linger on webtoons IS the leaf!

about 200 grams young leaves, wash it thoroughly, vines grow close to the ground

This leaf taste a bit bitter when it still raw, but after boils it for couple minutes, the taste is soft and mild similar to spinach and water spinach.

I never knew that we can consume the leaf,before 😁

Okay.. finding the leaves selling at any markets in my hometown was a mission impossible. I've never seen people selling or buying the leaves there, it's not a popular veggie for us.

Few years ago, when I still working and a friend hospitalized because of the dengue fever, my colleague brought a small bunch on the leaves and asked my friend's family to boil it with 2 cups of water and let the patient drink the water few times a day. The result was his blood plasms get to the standart number within a day, amazingly.

I found the leaf is selling by the vegetables venders around my neighborhood and suddenly became my saviour on the lazy day😁

Have you ever use the sweet potato leaf in your menu? Well.. the benefits of the leaf is not a joke! You can check it on google or here.

It tooks only few minutes to prepare this veggie😉 just boil it with some water till it soften and prepare the peanut's sauce. Get the boiled leaf out and filter the water.

hot rice and boiled yam leaves with spicy peanut's sauce means heaven

the natural blood booster!

When I was young, I believe that papaya juice is the best blood booster before the blood donor day, but it never worked on me. Now that I found this blood booster, I will drink it up before the blood donor's day next month😁.

How is the taste of the sweet potato leaf boiled water? Well.. without any additional spices, salt or sugar which we don't need it, it taste like water with a smell of green grass😊, spinach or water spinach boiled water taste. The colour is dark green to black.

While the leaf already has multiple healthy benefits, the root is amazing and even the boiled water of the leaf still useful, what else do you need from this veggie?
