The outside looks normal. It smells sweet. Yet, the inside is yellow. Normal?
-
There is such a thing as a white sweet potato. I bet that's what you have there!
-
Is it a white sweet potato ? That's a thing ! My mil makes white sweet potato pie. Tastes the same but the insides are less stringy
-
I thought sweet potatoes were white inside, and yams were orange? I use the white ones when I make sweet potato dishes.
-
I think yams are orange and sweet potatoes are lighter?
-
Learned something new!

I have no idea! I've never heard of a white sweet potato and I swear they weren't labeled that way at the store. They do seem less stringy!
-
@mediagirl: thats a YAM...still really good, just not as sweet...
-
Totally normal. Korean and Japanese sweet potatoes are yellow inside.
-
@mediagirl: you probably picked up a Japanese sweet potato!
They're yummier IMO -
I must say, they're delicious! I don't normally like sweet potatoes but these are yum!!
-
@mediagirl: so weird eh? The same thing happened to me. I bought a bunch of sweet potato to make a delicious orange soup and they were all white. Soup turned out delicious though!
-
Go figure! I've seen purple but never white before. Glad you liked them
-
Yep, this is a sweet potato and the bright orange ones are yams. I think they're even different structurally.
-
Looks like a Japanese sweet potato! They're delicious!
-
I love the Japanese sweet potatoes!
-
News to me! lol!
-
These are my favorite! Harder to find though
-
@autumnlove: yeah, I think yams are more orange and sweet potatoes are more yellow.
I love yams and sweet potatoes. I feel like some mashed sweet potatoes. I had butternut squash for Easter instead and it just did not compare. Come to think about why did I end up with a squash?
-
My husband haaates the orange sweet potatoes so we always get the japanese ones! They are yummy!
-
Yup- there are white and orange sweet potatoes! I personally don't care for the white ones, I like the orange ones best.
-
Those are the kind of sweet potatoes they have in Japan. During the fall and winter months, all the supermarkets have those for sale, freshly roasted. There's also little trucks that drive around with a grill in the back roasting those sweet potatoes. It's sooo good.
-
@chopsuey119: yummy totally gotta remember to pick some up from the Asian mart now.
-
Know what's funny? These came from Aldi's!!
-
I grew up eating Japanese/Korean sweet potatoes which are white/yellow, so it was actually a big shock when I bought a sweet potato at a regular grocery store and it was orange! I've recently discovered purple yams (I think from Hawaii?) that are absolutely delicious!
-
I never knew!
