Sweet potatoes have more vitamin A than a carrot. One medium sweet potato gives you more than 400% of your daily need. Yams? Barely any. So if you want to see in the dark, grab the orange one. Also, sweet potatoes can be purple inside. That’s from anthocyanins, the same antioxidant found in blueberries. You’re eating colorful science.

Real yams have a toxic raw form. Never eat a raw yam. It contains calcium oxalate crystals that cause itching and burning. Sweet potatoes are totally safe raw, though they taste better cooked. One will sting your mouth. The other is a friend.
