Sweet potatoes were originally discovered by Columbus in the West Indies, and sweet potatoes have been cultivated in the South for centuries, so it just makes sense that these veggies would appreciate the warm soils of North Carolina. The Resource Center further explains that North Carolina grows about 60% of the country\u2019s sweet potatoes all on its own, as the sweet potatoes enjoy the state&#8217;s long hot summers and frost-free days.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>However, while North Carolina reigns supreme in sweet potato production, other states are catching up, with rising production over the last 15 years. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ers.usda.gov\/data-products\/chart-gallery\/gallery\/chart-detail\/?chartId=80859\">U.S. Department of Agriculture<\/a>\u00a0says California, Mississippi, and Louisiana are all also significant sweet potato growers.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Potatoes vs. Sweet Potatoes vs. Yams<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re wondering why sweet potatoes need all those long, hot North Carolina summer days to grow and thrive (when regular potatoes can grow in cooler climates, like in Idaho), it\u2019s worth noting that sweet potatoes and potatoes are very different. Sure, they may look a little similar, but they\u2019re not even related.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the Agricultural Marketing Resource Center noted, potatoes are a member of the <em>Solanaceae<\/em> family (which also includes tomatoes and eggplant), whereas sweet potatoes are in the morning glory family. While they both grow similarly, underground, only the sweet potato is a true tuber.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, sweet potatoes and yams aren\u2019t the same either, even though the term &#8220;yam&#8221; is sometimes used to refer to sweet potatoes. If you see something marketed as a yam in the grocery store, it\u2019s often a mislabeled sweet potato. As the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ncsweetpotatoes.com\/sweetpotatoes-101\/\">North Carolina Sweet Potatoes Commission<\/a>\u00a0shows, yams usually aren\u2019t even orange; they\u2019re white or purple. Yams are a member of the lily family and they don\u2019t grow well at all in the United States, as they require even more tropical conditions than sweet potatoes. They\u2019re also less sweet and starchier than sweet potatoes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ways to Use Sweet Potatoes Beyond the Holidays<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Sweet potatoes have been growing in popularity over the last decade or so, and for good reason. Sweet potatoes are filled with health benefits and nutrients, including fiber and vitamins.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Stuffed-Sweet-Potato-with-Lentils-Kale-and-Sun-Dried-Tomatoes-2-1200x1200.jpg\" alt=\"Sweet Potato stuffed with lentils, kale and sun dried tomatoes on a white plate with some contents spilling out.\" class=\"wp-image-3233\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Stuffed-Sweet-Potato-with-Lentils-Kale-and-Sun-Dried-Tomatoes-2-1200x1200.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Stuffed-Sweet-Potato-with-Lentils-Kale-and-Sun-Dried-Tomatoes-2-246x246.jpg 246w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Stuffed-Sweet-Potato-with-Lentils-Kale-and-Sun-Dried-Tomatoes-2-130x130.jpg 130w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Stuffed-Sweet-Potato-with-Lentils-Kale-and-Sun-Dried-Tomatoes-2-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Stuffed-Sweet-Potato-with-Lentils-Kale-and-Sun-Dried-Tomatoes-2-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Stuffed-Sweet-Potato-with-Lentils-Kale-and-Sun-Dried-Tomatoes-2-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Stuffed-Sweet-Potato-with-Lentils-Kale-and-Sun-Dried-Tomatoes-2-120x120.jpg 120w, https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Stuffed-Sweet-Potato-with-Lentils-Kale-and-Sun-Dried-Tomatoes-2.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/stuffed-sweet-potatoes\/\">Stuffed Sweet Potatoes<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>So, if you want to take advantage of all the amazing ways you can use sweet potatoes, beyond just making up a mash for the holiday dinner table, or combining them in a casserole dish with miniature marshmallows and candied pecans, you have&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/healthy-sweet-potato-recipes\/\">lots of options<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try stuffing your sweet potatoes with&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/stuffed-sweet-potatoes\/\">lentils and sun-dried tomatoes<\/a>, or&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthygreenkitchen.com\/loaded-sweet-potatoes-quinoa-tabbouleh\/\">black beans and quinoa<\/a>.
