Although SWEET : POTATOES and yams are similar in many ways and therefore often confused : with one another, they are from different plant species. In the southern : United States, sweet potatoes are often called yams and to add to the : confusion, canned sweet potatoes are frequently labeled yams. True : yams, however, are not widely marketed and are seldom grown in the : United States. Though they can be similar in size and shape to sweet : potatoes, yams contain more natural sugar and have a higher moisture [snip] : Yams may be substituted for sweet potatoes in most recipes. : :..........................ENDQUOTE and here is Andreas' beautiful picture of yams: |`-. .^. .-.___.
