Yams are lower in the G.I rating than SP, but the difference is minimal...I like to have a yam at lunch (3rd meal) and a SP post-w.

Where do you get yams at? I can't find them anywhere!

i think yams are seasonal, so you won't find them all year round.

i think? anybody know?

yams are orange in color while sweet potatoes are more yellowish. and yams are the sweeter of the two.
