Excited About the Holidays— Why Yes I 'Yam' !

Yams and sweet potatoes are a favorite on the table during the holidays. The Balancing Act has learned that they’re also versatile and nutritious. But how are yams different from sweet potatoes? Tune in to find out!

Baked, whipped, candied, covered or smothered, yams are a favorite dish during the holidays and every family has its own tradition for preparing these gems. The Balancing Act invited special guest Cara Coste to tell viewers more about them and share some or the ways in which yams can be incorporated into a healthy holiday meal.

Coste reveals the difference yams and sweet potatoes: yams are just a hybrid variety of sweet potatoes. With that question settled, she offers some more information that viewers will be delighted to hear: they’re very nutritious. In fact, they’re ranked as the number one most nutritious vegetable by the U.S. Council in Nutrition. Yams are high in Vitamin A and Beta Carotene plus a good source of Vitamin B6, calcium, iron, potassium and fiber. They’re also endorsed by the American Heart Association.

Thanks to Cara’s easy recipes, viewers learn about the many ways in which sweet, tasty yams can be incorporated into everything from a breakfast pancake to a holiday casserole. She uses Bruce’s Yams which are the number one selling brand of retail canned sweet potatoes in America.
