Sweet potatoes are one of the major agricultural products in China, and their above-ground part, Sweet potato leaves, have extremely high nutritional value. Sweet potato leaves are rich in flavonoids, polyphenols, and polysaccharides, which have potential value in the treatment of diabetes, hyperlipidemia, anemia, cancer, and other diseases. Consequently, Sweet potato leaves have broad application prospects. This article reviews domestic and international research on the toxicological and pharmacological properties of Sweet potato leaves over the past decade, aiming to provide scientific basis for the in-depth development and clinical application of Sweet potato leaves.
