These bright-colored edible roots are generally labeled either sweet potatoes or yams—but, in fact, true yams are part of a different botanical group.
The jewel variety is known for copper-colored skin and bright orange flesh. Like most orange-fleshed varieties, the flesh of the jewel sweet potato is very moist and sweet when cooked (although less sweet than a garnet sweet potato).
Quick-cooking baby sweet potatoes make an easy, healthy side dish for busy weeknights. Whereas a large sweet potato might take up to an hour to bake whole, baby sweet potatoes take less than half the time. This variety is great, baked, roasted, mashed. Learn how to cook sweet potatoes here.
Sweet potatoes are a source of potassium and vitamin A.
