      First of all, we need to look at the size of the sweet potatoes. We generally choose large sweet potatoes, because large sweet potatoes absorb sufficient nutrients from the soil and taste crisp and delicious, while small sweet potatoes taste like chewing wood slag.

      Choose sweet potatoes with leaves on them. Generally, large sweet potatoes can be divided into several leaves. Sweet potatoes with leaves are crisp and delicious, have a lot of water, and give people a good taste, while sweet potatoes without leaves are not so refreshing to eat.

      Look at whether the stems on the top of the sweet potatoes are thick or thin. We should choose sweet potatoes with thin stems, and the sweet potatoes below the stems should be large, because such sweet potatoes absorb sufficient nutrients. If the top stem is thick and the sweet potato below is small, the sweet potato will not taste good.

      Also weigh the sweet potato in your hands to see if the size of the sweet potato matches its actual weight. If the sweet potato is large but light in your hand, it is possible that the sweet potato has been stored for a long time and the water has evaporated. If the sweet potato is heavy in your hand, it means it has enough water, and it will definitely taste crisp and delicious.

      Look at the sweet potatoes to see if there are any scars on them. If there are scars, it means they have been touched and are easy to rot. We should try to choose ones that look smooth on the outside and have an intact skin. This will make them more hygienic to eat and good for our health. healthy It’s also more secure.

      When we choose sweet potatoes, we also need to check whether there is mold on the surface of the sweet potatoes. We must look carefully, because some mold is white, which is similar in color to the sweet potatoes. If the sweet potatoes are moldy, we cannot use them because the mold will also damage our health after entering our bodies.
