Great for holiday baking - I’ve found you can use pumpkin or sweet potato (or butternut squash too) interchangeably in just about any baking recipe that calls for one of them. Sweet potatoes are the common red-brownish skinned root vegetables with sweet orange flesh and semi-smooth skin; there is also a variety with yellow flesh, with a taste resembling a mix of potato and apple. Yams usually have a rough dark brown skin, similar in texture to tree bark, with a white, purple, or red flesh. Yams do not have orange flesh. Therefore, most of what you see in the supermarket labeled as a yam is in fact a sweet potato - info thanks to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. |
