CK i have always been confused about yams and sweet potatoes. Which is which? I always assumed that sweet potatoes are the ones with the yellowish greenish flesh and red skin while the ones with orangeish flesh ones are yams.

But I just stopped by my local Whole foods today and they marked what I thought to be Yams Sweet potatoes. WHAT?

Microwave for ~45 seconds (longer if still liquid, it'll still be a little wet on top when properly done)

Whole foods might not even have yams, they might have just labeled taros or different sweet potatoes as yams. Most tubers sold as yams are just orange colored sweet potatoes. If the skin isn't like tree bark it's probably not a yam.
