Did You Know. . .

that sweet potatoes are often confused with yams, but that they are not even related?  Sweet potatoes come from the morning glory family; while yams come from the monocot family.  Yams are actually large, starchy roots grown in Asia and Africa. They can grow up to 100 pounds and they are hard to find in American grocery stores. (I don't think a true yam would fit in my refrigerator!  How about yours?!!)

that  Matthew Morrison (an American actor) said in an interview that he goes on a sweet potato diet before shooting a film?
