Are all sweet potato vines edible? There is an existing vine planted at our
house. I didn’t plant it. There are tons of potatoes in the ground. I’d like
to eat them if possible. Also, i read that you can eat the leaves. Can I eat
all vines and all leaves?

Dear Bonnie:
There are some varieties that are considered ornamental. But even ornamental sweet
potatoes are technically edible and I’ve heard their not as tasty as the varieties developed
as a food crop. I’m leery to tell you to eat any vine for some vines are not edible.
My best,
