Notes / Tips / Wine Advice:
Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes aren’t yams, and yams aren’t sweet potatoes.The orange potatoes we buy in the supermarket are related to
morning glories, while the larger yams, with white starchy flesh,
are related to lilies. Sweet potatoes are full of Vitamin A and
have a wonderful soft, tender texture when slow cooked.
