Hi Ann,
A couple of years ago in this group there were huge discussions about yams
and sweet potatoes and the conclusion was that everything in North America
are sweet potatoes. Yams are a totally different breed and not available in
North America, no matter what they call them in the stores. I don’t know if
this is true but that is what was concluded after many e-mails.

    You are right. at our store they call the light-fleshed ones sweetpotato and the
    red skinned and orange-fleshed ones yam.
    They are all the same species.
    We enjoy them all.

    I realized while reading his post that I really don’t pay that much
    attention to them. I either buy the one with the better price or if they
    are the same the ones in the right size for what I plan to do with
    them.
