In the Philippines, they slice raw sweet potato into thin strips and eat it with salt and chili—a street snack called kamote. In Korea, raw sweet potato sticks are sometimes served as a palate cleanser after yakiniku (grilled meat). The neutral crunch resets your taste buds like a reset button for your mouth.
If you want to join the raw revolution, try microplaning a sweet potato over salads. It gives you a fluffy, almost snowy texture that melts on your tongue. No chewing required.
