While harvesting sweet potato fields on December 6, a farmer in Lebanon saw a very big bulb. Without believing in his eyes, he had to ask his neighbor to identify whether it was sweet potato or not.

Khalil Semhat, who lives on the outskirts of Lebanon's Tire city, said: 'This strange potato root weighs 11.3 kg. I have been gardening since she was young, but this is the first time I saw such a big potato. "

The 56-year-old farmer said he did not apply any special measures on his parcel. Khalil also never used chemical fertilizers or pesticides. He said he would conduct the necessary procedures for the potato to be recorded in the Guinness Book of Records.
