Okinawan Hawaiian Purple Sweet Potatoes 3 Lbs.

My family MD told me to buy these. His mother went strict Paleo, after several of their relatives died of diabetes. She used these purple yams as the ONLY carb on her diet -- and successfully avoided diabetes! Diabetes is hereditary & common in their country. But they can't stand to quit carbs, especially rice. My husband is from that country; his mother died of diabetes. His pre-diabetes is getting worse due to carbs. I'm sure if he switches to these yams, it will help ! We got 3 pounds, 4 big potatoes. Perfect sized order for 2 seniors. Arrived quickly, in good condition, well-packaged. Incredibly delicious! My husband and I ate them for six meals, they were perfect. Bake, nuke, slice & fry, fabulous.

The potatoes arrived looking small. The mailing bag was moist inside not dry. Within a week 2 of the potatoes had mold on them, even though I stored them in a cool, dry and dark space. I cooked 2 of them, both had areas that were hard and dry and therefore smashed potatoes didn't work too well. The flavor, however was wonderful.

My husband and I were introduced to these purple sweet potatoes when we were vacationing on Kauai. We love the sweet potatoes and were happy to find we could order them on Amazon. The potatoes came a day early and were fresh and delicious. We will be ordering these again especially when we can't get them from our local Sprouts store.

Disappointed with the size of the potatoes and the quality. I will not buy any more of these potatoes from this seller.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:Most of the potatoes were bad. Would not buy again.

Just received my Okinawan sweet potatoes just a couple of days late but they're in good shape no mold no rot they're in the oven cooking now waiting for my grass-fed butter and need to eat them up an hour and a half yay

Update: do not buy to grow slips. I divided them up and have tried grow slips from each one in a different way, and no progress on any of them. I should have just eaten the potatoes, or eaten the $30. I’m 100% certain these are sprayed to prevent sprouting.I was pretty worried about blowing around $30 after reading all the reviews, but this is my favorite vegetable of all time so I really wanted to grow it at home. I received 2 medium/lg and 2 very large potatoes in great condition.Now I just want to see if I can get slips from them. None of the other reviews that I saw indicated success planting them, but I’m going to try and (hopefully) remember to update to let others know if I have any luck! I hope the seller info is honest and that these are not irradiated to prevent sprouting!

The flavor of these potatoes are good. But you don't get many for the price. Also, when I opened the package, there was a moldy potato. I tossed it out and went to work. The next day I reached out to them. They asked if had taken a photo, which I had not. Didn't even occur to me to take a pic of rotten food. I never received a replacement. These are WAY to expensive to not get all that you paid for!
