Sweet potato

The sweet potato or kumara (Ipomoea batatas) is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the family Convolvulaceae.

Its large, starchy, sweet-tasting, tuberous roots are a root vegetable. The young leaves and shoots are sometimes eaten as greens. Ipomoea batatas is native to the tropical regions in the Americas. Of the approximately 50 genera and more than 1,000 species of Convolvulaceae, I. batatas is the only crop plant of major importance—some others are used locally (e.g. I. aquatica (kangkong)), but many are poisonous. The sweet potato is only distantly related to the potato (Solanum tuberosum) and does not belong to the nightshade family.

The genus Ipomoea that contains the sweet potato also includes several garden flowers called morning glories, though that term is not usually extended to Ipomoea batatas. Some cultivars of Ipomoea batatas are grown as ornamental plants; the name tuberous morning glory may be used in a horticultural context.

The plant is a herbaceous perennial vine, bearing alternate heart-shaped or palmately lobed leaves and medium-sized sympetalous flowers. The edible tuberous root is long and tapered, with a smooth skin whose color ranges between yellow, orange, red, brown, purple, and beige. Its flesh ranges from beige through white, red, pink, violet, yellow, orange, and purple. Sweet potato varieties with white or pale yellow flesh are less sweet and moist than those with red, pink or orange flesh.

Sweet potato

by: Isle Of Q

She makes me nervous
With a look from her deep blue eyes
Slightly curvaceous
Giving me love that I cannot deny
And so mysterious
When she do what she like to do
Just like Colombo
I’m a spy looking for some clues
(Chorus)
She’s my funky lady
My my sweet potato
I feel like going down again
She’s my funky lady my my sweet potato
I feel like going down again
She’s tantalizing
Hollywood could have used her well
Says that she loves me
We got it good as far as I can tell
She’s so creative
Never know what she’s got in store
Don’t make no difference
She knows ill be coming back for more
Chorus
She’s my funky lady
My my sweet potato
I feel like going down again
My my sweet potato
I feel like going down again
She’s my funky lady
My my sweet potato
She’s so creative
Never know what she’s got in store
Don’t make no difference
She knows ill be coming back for more
Chorus
She’s my funky lady
My my sweet potato
I feel like going down again
My my sweet potato
