They don't called them "wholesalers" for nothing...

Holy the record for the biggest sweet potato is 37kg (81 pound in shitty unit) I thought they were just the size of my hand at most !

hey can you just remove the /amp bit? amp sucks and the page loads fine without it.

[-] Biyoo 6 points 3 months ago

I had no idea amp was a thing and I'm supposed to be a dev 😅

TIL

Now that I’ve been presented to “that EMT guy”, (@emtbadge502) all I can think is “…. NO.”

[-] Psaldorn@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

Stop. Yammertime.

Is this not an average size sweet potato where y'all are from?

Where I live, this is just your standard size tuberf. Maybe a bit on the girthy side, but normally they are at least the length of my forearm.

[-] Aganim@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

No, sweet potatoes here are usually about the size of a fist. Length of a forearm? That's impressive. And way too much, I'd end up chucking most of it away.

[-] Agent641@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Actually I find it annoying because I struggle to find one small enough to buy. I live alone, so if I buy one, I have to make sure I've got a few different meals planned to use it in, like a curry, a roast, and the leftovers in a salad.

Although some grocers sell halved ones wrapped in plastic when the whole ones are too big. I think we just have a good climate for them here.

There's one grocer I go to that sells mega ones that dwarf the OP picture. Maybe 2-3kg each.

That so cool

I wish I could get a monster 3kg sweet potato

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 8 points 3 months ago

I just think they’re neat.
