Real yams are the tuber of a vine grown in tropical areas and Africa and can grow to several feet in length and a hundred pounds in weight. The texture of a yam is more oily, not floury like a sweet potato or baking potato. It has a brown or black skin which resembles the bark of a tree and off-white, purple, or red flesh.
Odds are, if you live in the U.S., you've never seen a real yam.
Unfortunately, sometimes even stores label these wrong and get them confused. Darker skinned sweet potatos are labeled as yams all the time, and real yams might be a bit tricky to find.
