- description: Why Americans have been confused about this for hundreds of years Subscribe to our channel! http://goo.gl/0bsAjO The reason "yams" and sweet potatoes taste the same to Americans is because they are the same. What producers and grocery stores in the US have been calling "yams" are actually sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas). Real yams (of the genus Diascorea) are not grown commercially in the United States. You probably have to visit an international grocery store to find them. Check out the video above to see what a real yam looks like and learn how its name became attached to an entirely different vegetable. /// Vox.com is a news website that helps you cut through the noise and understand what's really driving the events in the headlines.
