shock Yams and sweet potatoes are not the same thing! shock
Sweet Potatoes and Yams are often viewed as two names for the same vegetable.On the contrary, they are two different vegetables. Sweet Potatoes are an uncommon crop in the U.S., grown primarily in the south. Yams are a sub-tropical plant, native to the Caribbean and Asia, and imported into the U.S. and other countries.
While yams are a vining crop that requires almost a year to develop, Sweet potatoes grow in about 100 - 150 days.
