Hi Mona, can camote tops be eaten raw? What is the best way to prepare it without cooking it?
Hi Nic,
This is Jem. It is always best to cook them first before eating, you can just cook it to boil and make it as a salad mix with calamansi/ vinegar and salt perfect with fried fish, shrimp paste and hot rice.
