The beloved Philippine sweet potato, or kamote, isn’t a potato at all! Botanically, it’s a cousin of morning glories—those delicate flowering vines.
🌿 Even more surprising? Kamote leaves are actually more nutritious than the tubers. They're rich in iron, calcium, and antioxidants—making them a powerful addition to Filipino meals like laing or adobong talbos ng kamote.
So next time you enjoy kamote, remember: the real superfood might be above the ground, not below it.
