Sweet Potatoes vs. Yams

Despite common usage in the United States, the terms “Sweet Potato” and “Yam” don’t refer to the same vegetable. Both types of produce you usually see in American grocery stores, whether they have red skin and orange flesh, or light yellow skin, are actually both varieties of sweet potatoes. The sweet potato variety with the red skin and orange flesh is often mistakenly labeled as “yams” in grocery stores. This specific variety is characterized by its softer texture when cooked, and it’s this type that people often think of as yams in the United States.

On the other hand, true yams are a completely different species of tuber that is not commonly found in conventional American grocery stores. Native to Africa and Asia, true yams have brown or black skin and their flesh can range in color from red to purple or off-white. They are typically larger and more starchy than sweet potatoes.
