Sweet Potato: The Perfect Famine Food

In this video we look at all of the reason that I believe that the sweet potato plant is the perfect famine food. This densely nutritious, highly versatile, and easy to grow plant has been accredited with bringing many through some of the worst famines in history.
Learn amazing nutrition facts about not only the sweet potato, but also it’s edible leaves.

Thanks for the info on sweet potatoes! Watching from Lancaster County. The home of one of the largest if not the largest Amish settlement in the world. About six years ago my wife recorded the grandchildren and I harvesting sweet potatoes. We put it on our u-tube channel. It now has over 572,000 views. Whopper 12 1/2 pound sweet potato in Amish country, Lancaster County, PA. We harvested over 200 pounds from a 15 foot row!

[@SurvivalHT]

Wow. That’s awesome!

[@reclaimedwood937]

i dehydrate the leaves and grind them up to make a superfood powder to put in smoothies and other things I also save a couple of them and start slips starting around the end of February

Thankyou mirlanda😊God bless y'all🙏🙏🙏

How well do they withstand sometimes freezing winter temps ? This may be the perfect garden plant for these troubled times. Thank you for posting . Best wishes.

[@SurvivalHT]

They won’t survive freezes. If the leaves freeze you can harvest the potatoes and replant later. But you need to get the potatoes out of the ground before the ground freezes. If the pirate freezes it will rot. If you love where it doesn’t get that cold they can keep growing year round

[@wsearp]

I love sweet potatoes.... Skins and all ....

[@hopechannelcat5462]

thank you very much for this info and your grandpa's testimony. if anything the world needs today is greater faith in God our Father.

It’s so good to hear from you. My sister in Christ keep on spreading the Word. To God be the glory.

[@stephencullum8255]

Something going on sister? I was not going to plant a garden last spring . Something told me to plant one in late spring. I planted a garden with things heat tolerant that I can put up, sweet potatoes being one of them. Right now preparing my garden for fall planting. Plan on planting long lasting producers and things I can put up without refrigeration.

[@SurvivalHT]

Trust that intuition. Things will get shaky for a bit for a lot of people. It never hurts to have extra. If you don’t need it, you can always share with the less fortunate 👍🏻

[@stephencullum8255]

@@SurvivalHT Absolutely. I have planted more than I need just to be able to do that.

[@paulcoppin8068]

It is what i am planting for the coming famine in Bohol Philippines and have also started a giant yam called ube. The root crops survived the Super Typhoon before Christmas when others were destroyed. Wife will add sweet potato and ube to coconut milk and a little sugar. Tastes like a creamy potato soup but sweet.

[@johnhamil7183]

I'm new to this channel and a recent sub. This is the kind of information I love seeing people share. Together, we can survive through what others want to impose upon us! The sharing of knowledge was always God's intention imo. He speaks to those in need so that they can share wisdom through him. Awesome video!

[@truthbetold2611]

The Chinese eat sweet potato leaves like any leafy greens and they're cancer fighting. I plan to plant some varieties that produce both roots to eat and ornamental leaves for flower pots.

[@JanetWilham]

in some countries they stir fry the leaves in cooking.

Collard greens are the best

[@catherinerandall1966]

So important to hear this. Had no idea how valuable even the leaves are. I have nothing but poor soil, so I'm going to attempt to grow some 🥰

[@johnd5805]

Start now improving your soil. Never too late. Research. And just start with whatever you have.

[@catherinerandall1966]

@@johnd5805 thank you for that. I'm container gardening, and have learned so much. I used canned sardines buried deep in soil. It makes fantastic cheap fish fertilizer!

[@johnhamil7183]

Thank you for sharing the divine healing testimony, Jesus is still the healer today. Also the leaves destroy prostate cancers in older men. I know 2 men that were healed even under mds supervision with the greens. On my missionary journeys to the Philippines a tribe there that eats the Ube ( purple yam) leaves have never in history had a case of prostate problems.

[@onedazinn998]

Wonderfully done :) Do you all fertilize your sweet potatoes? Thanks!

[@SurvivalHT]

No. No need. They take over with out any help

I wonder what is the minimal amount of vine is needed to keep the sweet potato growing well?

[@abrevas]

Two nodes on the cut vine. The bottom node is for the root system and the top node is for the leaves. Make sure the nodes are pointing up.

[@ronkincaid9107]

Are those sweet potatoes the kind used to make sweet potato pie or are they the Japanese sweet potatoes? Thanks.

[@SurvivalHT]

I do use them to make Sweet potato pie. Honestly not sure the variety as I mentioned in the video I just grew them from some that I bought from market

[@donaldmann8841]

I grew sweet potatoes for the first time this year. How do I know when it's time to dig them up. Thank you.

[@SurvivalHT]

You can dig them up 5 month from planting. Anytime after 5 months and before the first freeze. The longer you leave them the bigger they’ll be just make sure they are up before the first freeze

[@donaldmann8841]

@@SurvivalHT Thank you. I'm looking forward to seeing what's under that soil. Will they have about the same shelf life as white potatoes if stored the same way? Thanks again.
