I don't know for sure but that was my
impression. There are many pacific Islanders in California and from what I understand they grow
true yams there ( the pacific islands) and I was told by some of them,
Samoans, Tahitians, Guamese, etc that the ones I'm referring to were
actually true Yams but who knows I guess. Some things don't grow as big
here as they do other places and tubers can vary quite a bit in size so size
isn't always a good judge of things. Its also possible they
deliberately try to grow them smaller so they can be marketed. I do
remember the ones called "Yams" were a different shape, though similar.
The tended to be longer and pointier. Like I said, its hard to tell what
is what sometimes because of all the misinformation out there but they were
definitely different than normal sweet potatoes.
