i know the subject line sounds a bit off topic, but i promise i'm talking about some of our plants...
i was on one of my infrequent trips to chinatown today and i saw some
leafy vegetables in a sidewalk stand that looked somewhat
intriguing. they were somewhat triangular leaves along a
stem. i thought to myself, these look like Ipomoea leaves.
i asked someone what they were, and she said they were sweet potato
leaves! in my infinite ignorance, i never knew that sweet potato
leaves were edible. of course i had heard of water spinach, which
is an Ipomoea, but a totally different one.
also, i have read that in china there's a garlic variety that produces
a bulb with a single clove. does anyone know anything about this
garlic? does it taste distinct from the "regular" kind?
