The real problem here is that sweet potato is a terrible name for a sweet potato. They're unrelated to one another beyond being root vegetables with one being slightly sweeter than the other. Do you know what else you could call a sweet potato with that woefully limited description? Carrots. Parsnips. Beets. Celery, even.
I use Yam to make candie Yam and sweet potatoes to make sweet potatoes pie. Sometime, I use Yam to make sweet potatoes pie. I still call it sweet potatoes pie 🥧. I'm not changing the name to nothing else.
Yes!!! I’ve been telling my local supermarket this for years. The have it backwards, labelling sweet potatoes as yams, and vice versa. 🤦🏻♀️ On another note, when I found out the exotic-sounding rutabaga was just turnip swede I was extremely disappointed! 🤣
Yarms are the tuber root of a tropical vine grown in the Carrinbean or tropical climates. Sweet potatoes are native to North Ametica. Sweet potatoes are sweeter & have more moisture.
This was so confusing! So in the first few seconds… are you saying the correct name with the correct picture?
Oh thank God, finally. I couldn't find the answer on the internet. I gave up. Now I know 😃😃😃
Throwback to my husband and I fighting over the correct names for them.

What about taste and texture!!

Honestly I’m still confused, you shouldn’t have cut between them so much as it doesn’t line up with the words
Come to New Zealand where yams are a different vegetable altogether and we call sweet potato kūmara.

I tell you that a Yam is way bigger and thicker in it's mashed texture than a sweet potato 🍠.
Isso é um cara e a outra é uma batata doce risada
Why not just hold them up and tell us? This wasn't helpful.
