Okinawan purple sweet potatoes

[Guest guest]

Just by chance, while shopping in a Chinese supermarket the other day, I

came upon the (previously discussed here) purple sweet potatoes that they

eat in Okinawa. Or at least used to eat before the younger generation

started altering the traditional diet there. This is the first time I had

ever seen any. The outside purple color is unmistakable.

They are delicious. I plan to serve them as often as I can get to this

grocery (about 6 miles away) to purchase them. While the outside is purple,

the inside of these sweet potatoes is white as opposed to the orange color

we are used to. The taste is sweet, something between a regular potato and

a yam.
