Produce Geek's Guide to Sweet Potatoes!

Sweet potatoes and pecans for breakfast every morning for two years, sometimes in the evening, too. Can't get enough.

Finally someone who knows the difference. I just wasted the last 20min of my life listening to health nuts pretend to educate on sweet potatoes ... truth is they knew nothing!!!! Tip... cube small and try air frying! Delish

Sweet potatoes are definitely not Yams, and shouldn't be labeled as yams...It's ignorance that continues to mix up the two. I absolutely adore sweet potatoes.

This was the BEST breakdown of Sweet Potatoes! Even better than some Top Professional Chefs!!! Thank you so much for your detail and dedication!!! Great video!

A purple sweet potato pie would change the game!! This was a very necessary video that I wish we'd watched a few weeks ago. My bf tried this potato lasagna recipe and the potatoes took forever to cook. Now realizing we chose the wrong ones!!

My process for massively speeding up yam cooking is: .Wash, scrub with veg brush .Stab it with a knife several times all over and deep .Wrap in moist paper towel large then put on a plate .Microwave for 8minutes or so now med high .Stab to test, microwave more if center is still firm .Remove from towel .Pat dry .rub with oil of choice .season outside with salt .finish in oven/toaster oven for 10 min or so, rotating at least once. Serve. Cuts down the time by about 1/4 or so, and ends up with an almost identical end product as roasting the whole time, sometimes superior actually.

The oriental sweet potato reminds me a lot of chestnuts. It’s my favourite, oven roasted and spread with some butter before eating

For softer, moister purple stokes, put in pan with an inch or so of water when baking

Thanks for the very informative video. One suggestion: it would be great if you could put the variety name on the screen as you talk about it.

Love this very informative video! Truly appreciate you putting this out. I am a sweet potato lover and all varieties are delicious to me!!

You should steam cook the japanese sweet potatos and those purple ones for the cooking method. They cook up in around 20 mins and the steaming process causes the texture of the sweet potatos to be really moist and soft. Gets rid of the dryness.

Love it. Thank you for breaking this down for us

The purple ones seem starchier and heavier or fuller, like a well baked homemade bread. I love them. So filling. They mix very well in Mexican type dishes or curry dishes, believe it or not. They mix in very well with spices.

Great explanation and sample taste testing. Thanks for explaining the differences to clarify. Good to keep the names in mind to avoid confusion. 🥔

Awesome! Thank you very much for the info

fascinating!! 🥔 thank you! 💕

Thank you! Needed this clarification!

UBE/Purple Yam has been a staple in Asian (especially in Filipino) cuisine for centuries! So happy to see it make it to western cuisine! Enjoy! 😊

this is awesome! I can't eat many nightshades, so learning about all these varieties is great.

Great video and very informative. Thank you!
