  • It slows the growth of prostrate tumors by 75% in lab experiments.

​Why are these greens so powerful? 
Sweet Potato leaves are an excellent source of potent antioxidants called polyphenols and they are one of the most alkalizing vegetables out there. It makes me wonder if Sweet Potato leaves are the next Superfood?

​I was introduced to all these nutrient info by a Cooking Frenz member -Ms Shirley Lee. She gave me valuable tips on how to prepare these leaves.
