Sweet Potato Nutrition Question?

I know there are four different varieties of sweet potatoes. I have been eating those with fair skin, with interior yellow. I wanted to try those labeled as "sweet" in grocery stores, with dark skin and bright orange inside. Is there a difference in their calorie / Nutritional content?

I believe that what they are thinking of trying is just another type of sweet potato – you can see images of the real "sweet" the last link I am posting for you. There are seven main varieties http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_potato sweet potatoes: Jersey, Kotobuki (Japanese), Okinawa (Purple), Papa Doc, Beauregard, Garnet, Jewel and the new variety name Covington. The last four regional varieties called "yams" in the United States. A unique variety of sweet potato grown in New Zealand, originally cultivated by the indigenous Maori, is the kumara, a red / purple variety with a unique flavor due to its isolation from other varieties. The moisture of the pulp, orange sweet potato varieties are often referred to as "sweet" in the U.S. states. An explanation of this confusion is that Africans brought to America took to calling American sweet potatoes Nyamis, perhaps the word Fulani nyami (eat) or the Twi word Anyinam that refers to a true yam. The true yam, which is native to Africa and Asia, can grow to 2 meters (6 feet) in length (sometimes with knuckle and the ends) and has a scaly skin, a pinkish white center, and a feeling thick, almost oily tongue. This is what is really a yam – and has pictures: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yam_%% 28vegetable 29
