@Alexandoy How does its leaves look like? Here we not only eat sweet potatoes, but also their leaves.

That tuber was planted 6 months ago. I didn't know that it has a lot of edible roots under the ground.

@youless the leaves are small, similar to the leaves of the yam.

Yes, it is like a creature that moves especially when you see the roots.

It was planted 6 months ago so I was surprised to see that it has lots of edible roots.

The name of that tuber is TUGI. It is a wild tuber that is edible but not common even in our country.

Yes it is edible that's why I planted it. In fact that was our afternoon snack today.
