sweet potatoes and all yams (real and not) are not nightshades

[Guest guest]

Hi Kath,

 

No, they are not of the same family, are not even related  and are definitely

not nightshades!  Rather, sweet potatoes are from the batata family, and the

flower is the morning glory,  whereas yams are from the Dioscorea family (as

in Shan Yao).  

 

Sincerely,

your through post on my sweet potato question is both helpful and

appreciated.

 

you note that garnet and jewel yams are actually sweet potatoes.  that would

put them in the nightshade family, yes?   i was under the impression that

yams were not in the nightshade family.  are there varieties of yam

available that are not nightshades/sweet potatoes?
