Which one is healthier? yam or sweet potato? what are the nutrition facts? thanks!

If you live in the States, you are 99.9% most likely eating a sweet potato. Yams are not grown here.

Sweet potatoes are a great form of vitamin A. (similar to carrots as they are “root” vegetables and orange in color). They are also (surprisingly) a good source of vitamin C and B6.
They’re high in fibre, low in sodium, cholesterol and saturated fat.
Enjoy!
