Descriptions
A plant species of the genus IPOMOEA, family CONVOLVULACEAE. Some cultivars are sweet and edible whereas bitter varieties are a source of SAPONINS. This sweet potato is sometimes referred to as a yam (DIOSCOREA). Source: National Library of Medicine, MeSH 2006
The Sweet potato, belonging to the Morning glory family and not related to Potatoes, is native to the West Indies and Central America, although early reports place it in Indonesia and Philippines too. It is a vine-like, perennial herb but is cultivated as an annual. It is now grown in more than 100 countries in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate climates. It is 1 of only 7 world food crops with an annual production of more than 100 million metric tons per year, and ranks thirteenth globally in production value among agricultural commodities. It is cultivated primarily for the enlarged edible storage roots, which provide large amounts of starch.
Anecdotal evidence suggests that Sweet potato can occasionally induce symptoms of food allergy in sensitised individuals; however, no studies have been reported to date.
