Sweet Potatoes: What’s The Difference?"},"content":{"rendered":"

Of all the tubers, sweet potatoes are probably my favourite. I add them as a banana replacement in <\/span>smoothies<\/span><\/a>, use them in <\/span>casseroles<\/span>, and even add \u2018em to <\/span>veggie burgers<\/span> for a subtly sweet and thicker consistency. Sometimes recipes call for yams instead of sweet potatoes though, and I always thought they were the same thing. However, after some research, I discovered that I was very, very wrong. <\/span><\/p>\n

Yams Vs. Sweet Potatoes: What\u2019s the Difference?<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

Yams and sweet potatoes are, in fact, very different. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • First, they have different origins. Yams are native to Africa, Asia, and are now common in Central America and the Caribbean. Sweet potatoes, on the other hand, are grown in the US. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • They also have very different flavours. Sweet potatoes are, well, sweet. They\u2019re also more moist and juicier than yams. Yams are not sweet: they\u2019re starchy and dry. <\/span><\/li>\n
  • As for their appearances, again – not similar. Yams have a white-ish flesh, are bigger and rounder, and are somewhat \u201chairy\u201d on the outside. They\u2019re not the cutest of tubers. Sweet potatoes are what we\u2019re likely used to – orange or purple or white-ish flesh, and with a narrow shape and tapered ends. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Sweet potatoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Again, sweet potatoes.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Yep, still sweet potatoes. <\/span><\/p>\n

    THESE are yams:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \"\"<\/p>\n

    Note the \u201chairy\u201d skin.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    So, How Did It Get This Way?<\/b><\/span><\/h1>\n

    The yam misnomer likely dates back to the 1920s, if not earlier. The word \u201cyam\u201d is likely derived from various West African languages and made its way over to the US during the slave trade era. When West African people were forcibly moved to the \u201cnew world\u201d, they likely used the term yam to refer to the root vegetable they found in the US: the sweet potato. During the 30\u2019s, US companies\u2019 marketing tactics just stuck with it, and here we are today.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Recipes<\/b><\/p>\n

    Here are some favourite sweet potato – NOT yam – recipes.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Sweet Potato Soup<\/strong><\/p>\n

    This creamy and subtly sweet soup will make you forget alll about the yams vs. sweet potatoes debate.<\/p>\n

    Ingredients:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • 1 tbsp coconut oil<\/li>\n
    • 1\/4 tsp pepper<\/li>\n
    • 4 cups broth<\/li>\n
    • 2 tbsp minced fresh parsley<\/li>\n
    • 1 onion chopped<\/li>\n
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced<\/li>\n
    • 3 sweet potatoes peeled and cubed (2 lbs;)<\/li>\n
    • 1\/4 tsp salt<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Instructions:<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat, saute garlic, onion, salt and pepper until softened, about 3 mins.<\/li>\n
      2. Add sweet potatoes and stock. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender – about 20 mins.<\/li>\n
      3. Puree soup until smooth. Return to clean saucepan and heat through.<\/li>\n
      4. Top with chopped parsley.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Mashed Yams (Fufu)<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

        This is a common west African dish. It\u2019s slightly similar to mashed potatoes, but with a thicker consistency. Try rolling it up into balls and dipping it into soup – it’s delicious. Cassava can also replace white yams for this recipe. <\/span><\/p>\n

        Ingredients:<\/span><\/p>\n

          \n
        • 2 pounds cassava or white yams<\/span><\/li>\n
        • 2 tbsp butter (or vegan butter)<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Salt and pepper<\/span><\/li>\n
        • Optional: flavour with various spices. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          Instructions:<\/span><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Place un-peeled yams in a large pot, cover with cold water and bring to a boil.<\/span><\/li>\n
          2. Boil for 15-30 minutes, or until yams are cooked thoroughly.<\/span><\/li>\n
          3. Drain. Let cool.<\/span><\/li>\n
          4. Peel the yams and chop into large pieces. Place them in a large bowl with the butter and S&P. <\/span><\/li>\n
          5. Mash well until smooth.<\/span><\/li>\n
          6. Place in a bowl and, with a bit of water, begin to roll it into balls. It\u2019s common to dip the balls into soups or sauces. Makes 4-6 servings. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            So in conclusion, all those sweet potato-y type root veggies that you once thought were yams… are not. Unless you\u2019ve eaten yams in African or Asian countries, there\u2019s a very good chance you\u2019ve actually never tried a true yam – at least not in Canada or the US. They\u2019re alllll sweet potatoes over here. That being said, it\u2019s still incredibly common to use the term yam when referring to orange-fleshed sweet potatoes. So common, that at SPUD and Be Fresh we even use “yam” to describe these misunderstood tubers. \u00a0Sometimes it\u2019s less confusing to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

            But enough of the semantics. Call your tubers whatever you like, but at least now you\u2019re informed. Find sweet potatoes (not true yams) at your nearest Be Fresh market!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
