sweet potatoes

Question

Can you cook and eat sweet potatoes straight from the ground without curing them?

Absolutely! This is perfectly fine, and I do this quite often myself. They do taste much better cured, but there is no harm in eating them fresh. Here is an article for more information on curing them:https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/sweet-potato/harvesting-sweet-potatoes.htm
