We couldn't eat them. They tasted like iodine or ink... very bitter and acrid. Terrible! Either we got something entirely different from the usual purple yam or ours went bad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934656459172973743.post-15472286567483049482014-01-31T17:42:42.726-08:002014-01-31T17:42:42.726-08:00I got some at the Asian market already cooked and ...I got some at the Asian market already cooked and ever so delicious! But next time I want to cook them myself. I am confused by your article, which is the best method? 400 degrees for 15 minutes only? That seems very short time. Assuming these are the smaller ones? Can I cook them at 350, like regular sweet potato, which I used to do for 1 hour?Nemor Yerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11873091312268777090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934656459172973743.post-36189793752147545672012-03-22T19:39:16.210-07:002012-03-22T19:39:16.210-07:00Try an Asian market.

Kitazawa seeds can't send them to California anymore. My last ones got eaten by gophers a few years ago. They were very tasty. Do you know here can I get one or two for sprouting?
