Before

After

Both sweet potatoes and yams are starchy, orange root vegetables with a natural sweetness. Sweet potatoes are lower in calories, have lower glycemic levels, and are higher in beta-carotene than the yam, and are thus believed to be a better bet nutritionally. But don't write off yams, they offer high levels of vitamin C and folate! 

Cheers to health in life,
