The Skinny on Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes and yams are actually two very different vegetables.

While American grocery stores use the terms interchangeably, what they are always referring to is actually a sweet potato, not a yam. Garnet Yams and Jewel Yams, for instance, aren’t yams at all — they’re sweet potatoes! Candied Yams? Nope, sweet potatoes. Confused yet?

In fact, chances are that you’ll never accidentally buy an actual yam instead of a sweet potato at your local grocery. You can find “true” yams as well as other varities of sweet potatoes in Caribbean and Asian specialty grocery stores.

1" buttons to spread the word!

Sweet Potatoes are not Yams

Available for purchase on etsy! If they aren't in stock, send me a convo or leave a comment here and I'll restock them for you. What do you mean you have no use for 1" buttons with sweet potatoes on them?? That is un-American.
