Added emphasis mine.
All varieties may be edible, but that does not necessarily mean
palatable. I tried using some of the ornamental varieties, in hope that they would prove to be edible landscaping - uggghh!
Horrible flavor, I wanted to wash off my tongue after tasting them.
I've grown & enjoyed the Filipino kamote, which given adequate water, is an
incredibly productive green in hot weather. Markets which sell kang kong shoots may also sell shoots for kamote; the rooting procedure is the same as for kang kong.
