I've seen true Yams in markets in
certain parts of the country, such as the Bay area of California. The main
difference I've noted, concerning culinary qualities, it that the true Sweet
Potatoes are drier and firmer, Yams can be rather "mushy" from what I've seen
but I like them for certain things like pies if one cooks them a little longer
to dry them out a bit when preparing, they seem to have a smoother texture
when you do that but it might be from the extra cooking time. I've not
seen true Yams around here but there are a lot of varieties of Sweet Potatoes,
including the white ones which are mostly claimed to be Heirloom
varieties. Some of the white Sweet potatoes I've seem are pretty ugly but
some people seem to prefer them, I like the orange ones myself as they seem to
have more of that sweet potato flavor to me. Some varieties of Sweet
potatoes are relatively moist however and some, like the Puerto Rican ones
tend to be a little more like the Yam in texture but not by much. Also I
think yams need sandier soil to keep from rotting and take longer to
mature but don't quote me on that one.
