2 Set Japanese Purple Sweet Potato (1 LB)Excellent yields and flavor. Stores well.

good potato thank you

Wow! So excited with this! The sweet potato looks good, huge and heavy healthy. honestly surprised me.

The picture is False advertising; Actual color is white with faint purple lines. Certainly NOT the vibrant purple in the product image. PLUS it’s perishable so NON REFUNDABLE. The description notes a “set” implying more than one potato. I ordered a quantity of 2, expecting at least 4 which would equate to 2 per set. I received only 2 potatoes, each very smooth but no slips. I am not happy with this purchase and will notpurchase from this party again. Product noted 200+ purchased this month, each at $16 per potato. Ridiculous Amazon for allowing this to happen on your platform. I had to choose 1 star to submit this review. I’ll give them that for actually sending something.

The three stars are for excellent condition they were in. However, I bought these to start slips with. Three weeks after placing in a box with soil, not one eye has produced a start of a slip. The description does not indicate these were organic, so I am thinking they may have been treated to delay sprouting. Unless they sprout soon, before rotting away, this will be considered a total waste of money.

nice flavor and plenty of spring planters for this year,

I was skeptical that what I received would survive. I am pleased, however, that with the two that did grow slips successfully it lived. was able to get a number of slips! I cannot wait for this to grow Japanese sweet potatoes.

It's a little dryer than the Okinawan purple potato but it's still good when boiled.

Update 10/20/23 From July 20, 2023 4 months birthday update. Today I added 3 new pictures. Keep in mind it around 2pm in Florida and the sun is out in full force. I have not water them today I’ll wait until evening to water once week if so. You can see in the picture how they are over growing to my niegbor’s side of the fence. I’ll be cutting those slips on fence and putting them in water to get bigger roots before planting them in spring. Update: it’s been around 2 months and you can see all the slip I have. What I do is that as the slip grow from the sides of the cuts I planted and are tall enough I carefully lay them down without breaking them from the cut planted and put soil on top of each steam. I make sure leaf are showing and not buried. Then water again every other day well. I live in florida but you can start them inside as long as you put them where they get sunlight and is warm. Then transplant outside in spring if you live in cold area. Make sure you have good soil and a little sandy and does not get hard so your sweet potatoes have room to expand. I order 2- one pound. I got 3 heathy purple sweet potatoes. I guess altogether they weigh 2 pounds. I cut them in half and planted them in the grown with the cut side face up and being level with ground. I water every other day for one week and every 4 day after. It’s been like 3 weeks and my sweet potatoes slip are all around my 6 cuts. This is the way my mom teach me and it works . I’m so happy I will have a lot of slips in a few months. I’m really happy with my purchase.
