Default Re: The Sweet Potato vs. The Yam

Aussies mum - I have never seen a kumara - but would love to get some! It is a variety of sweet potato with a orange-redish skin and yellow flesh. Although I have never had one - they are supposed to be very delicious!

Apparently the plants are hard to come by - they are a temperate plant - not tropical. Also known as the New Zealand yam.
