I've had both, and I prefer sweet potatoes over yams. Yams aren't as sweet, they're actually a little bland. You have to add brown sugar to them in order to sweeten them up. I think the texture is a little different too. They are more orange in color.
Sweet potatoes are sweeter naturally, so they are better for you. You don't have to add brown sugar to them, unless you want to add a little with some butter and cinnamon....yum! Sweet potatoes are darker in color. |
