In this video, I will show you one of the survival foods in my country that we usually eat, and we called it “kamote” or known as sweet potato. During World War 2 when Japanese occupied the Philippines, native Pilipino suffers food shortage they became clever aside from planting green leafy vegetables they planted root crops like sweet potato, yam, cassava and etc. Since we are experiencing pandemic Covid-19 it brings back to our history. We are dependent on root crops, especially in the countryside and it is our advantage as well because we are the main producers of vegetables.

As we all know root crops can be harvested from soil. So, it is necessary for us to dig and this is where your patience tested.

On this day, we harvested almost 3 kilograms of sweet potatoes which are good enough for our lunchtime.

We considered root crops a blessing because it provides my family’s needs in day to day life. In a week we can consume at least a total of 10 – 12 kilograms.

My sister is a good helper when it comes to cleaning freshly harvested sweet potatoes. You can simply wash these by removing the mud by your hands or use a smooth brush to clean.

Cooking sweet potatoes using firewoods can give satisfactory flavor because there is something unique when we cook it that way compared to modern equipment.

You can witness the good texture of the sweet potato. It tastes a little bit sweet and can surely make you full. It’s time to eat!

Dapat magtanim dto sa maynila nyan ang may malaking bakuran sa bahay.. wag lahat ipasemento magtira ng may pagtaniman

Tama po kayo Mam. Lalo na sa panahon ngayon . Batang bukid ako. Pagsasaka at pagtanim ng gulay ang kinalakihan ko. Kaya kahit saan man ako magpunta nasa puso ko ang pagtatanim. Kahit maliit na lugar or sa lata ng sardinas pwd po taniman kung ano ano na mga gulay .

Malupit yong video mo boss, ang ganda ng kuha. Well, it's the best food for today because of economy down. But I think it's fine because it's delicious.

Good Evening po Entry ko po sana sa pacontest nyu hindi ko nabasa ang rules hehehe Sorry po talaga tags lang nakita ko. Mahirap po talaga buhay ngayon pero Swerte parin kasi buhay at may makakain pa kahit camote . SALAMAT po ulit sa supporta.

Good afternoon @hiddenblade thank you for the support. I am inspired by you and through that I am motivated enough to do more quality content. HOPE YOU WILL INSPIRE MORE PEOPLE HERE IN HIVE COMMUNITY. May gani kay imo napansin tawon ang kamote. KEEP SAFE!

Glad to hear I inspired you, it's humbling. Keep creating content, you're on the right path! :)
I love kamote that's why. Hahah. And I have the passion to make videos as well, in fact I have used Kevin Mcleod's music a lot in the past hahaha. There are also musicians here that are open to collaborations/ they are okay with their music being used on Hive videos. I have used some. Just ask permission for sure they'll respond, and probably even arrange things of setting beneficiaries to them. Tayo tayo lang naman magtutulungan dito. :D
You can find some of them on DSound. They are awesome!

I am glad as well for recognizing my piece of work. Yes I will continue what I have sfutarted because I find it more interesting yet challenging. Thank you for suggesting music which are available here in Hive it is even more simplier for me to search for. I'll surely visit Dsound soon.

Sweet potato is my favorite. Glad know a new method of preparing it @gohenry

I keep growing sweet potatoes in my garden for a few years now. Great for self made curry or as a simple replacement for french fries :)

Sweet potato fries are healthier than French fries.
