Summary

There is wide variation in the morphological characteristics of sweet potato leaf tips which are acceptable as a vegetable for human consumption. Thus many cultivars are available from which further selections can be made for yield, palatability, tenderness, flavour, and nutritional quality. A list is given of some cultivars which combine a number of desirable traits.
