Purple Sweet Potato PLANT – Untreated & Heirloom – Molokai Purple – Ipomea costata

Purple Sweet Potato – Ipomea costata is an easy-to-grow and very tasty perennial vegetable with lots of health benefits. ‘Sweet potato is considered an excellent source of dietary carotenoids, and polysaccharides, whose health benefits include antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective activity, cardiovascular protection, anticancer properties and improvement in neurological and memory capacity, metabolic disorders, and intestinal barrier function. Moreover, the purple sweet potato, due to its high anthocyanin content, represents a unique food option for consumers, as well as a potential source of functional ingredients for healthy food products. (Emily P. Laveriano-Santos et.al., 2022 – Link to article in the description)’. The leaves are also edible and we mostly use them in stir-fries or as a spinach substitute, braised for a couple of minutes in a little butter and garlic. Yumm!

Queensland Arrowroot PLANT – Heirloom & Untreated – QLD Arrowroot – Canna Edulis

Queensland Arrowroot – QLD Arrowroot – Canna Edulis is an evergreen beautiful and easy-to-grow perennial plant grown for its starchy rhizomes. It makes a perfect potato replacement, especially for all slow-cooked dishes! The taste is similar to potatoes if you cook the young rhizomes. Check my Facebook or Instagram page to see some dishes cooked with this fantastic vegetable. The older ones are getting very fibrous and are better for animals or for propagation. The rhizomes can also be grated, dehydrated, and ground to produce starchy flour. This plant grows very quickly during the warmer months. The leaves can be used for chop and drop to create an instant mulch in your garden, and animals love them, too. It grows up to 2m and will expand very quickly under the right conditions, and the best is that you only need to plant it once! Check our other listings to buy just the rhizome instead of the potted plant.
