Did you know?
Despite a physical similarity and frequent confusion with their names, yams and sweet potatoes are not even distantly related. They are in two different botanical families. Yams are actually related to grasses and lilies.
Sweet potatoes are a Native American plant that was the main source of nourishment for early homesteaders and for soldiers during the Revolutionary War; while y
ams are large, starchy roots grown in Africa and Asia.
Vardaman, Mississippi, is the Sweet Potato
Capital
of the World.
