Sweet Potato
The sweet potato is a dicotyledonous plant that belongs to the bindweed or morning glory family, Convolvulaceae.
YAM
Yam is the common name for some plant species in the genus Dioscorea that form edible tubers.
In parts of the United States and Canada, "yam" is sometimes used to refer to varieties of the unrelated sweet potato. In New Zealand it's a whole other veggie.
My local grocery had BOTH in separate bins and for slightly different prices so I figured I'd buy some of each and compare them.
AFTER I had checked out, I saw the produce manager re-stocking BOTH from the SAME BAG of sweet potatoes.
