Biology major to the rescue: to the untrained eye yams and sweet potatoes are the same, in color and taste for the most part. However, they are in fact two different species of plants; yams are monocots and sweet potatoes are dicots (which refers to the number of embryonic budding leaves). Between the two plans there are vastly different nutritional values of vitamins and minerals (yams are low in a but high in c and such). Additionally monocots differ from dicots in plant structures like leaf shape/vascularity and number of petals on flower multiples of 3 vs 4 or 5 respectfully (yams have 6 sweet potatoes have 5). You can also tell from observing the structure of the xylem water transport and phloem sugar transport tubes inside the tubers themselves. Have fun with the knowledge!
Malachi Jones I have no idea what to do with this muchknowledge but thanks for giving it! 😂
Soooo which one was the yam and which was the sweet potato in the video😂😂😂😂
yes educate us
I am confident in saying that they are both sweet potatoes. Yams are pretty white or purple in color, but sweet potatoes can be white, purple, or orange. What these most likely are sold as are jewel, garnet, or Beauregard yams (I’m guessing jewel based on skin color), which are really just sweet potatoes that have had there names confused as a result of American agricultural marketing over time. You will know yams when you eat them base on the texture: dry and very starchy. These white ones are most likely marketed as sweet potatoes only because I don’t think any white variety sweet potatoes lost their naming conventions. Which also explains why Derek is corrected on the orange ones.
Oh yeah drop the knowledge. Thanks for sharing.
Suuuuuuuuch a great video! I have a 9yr old son and I’d feel so good with him watching your videos. You’re such a positive role model, thank you for that !
No problem!
This makes me so happy 😁 aren’t crystal and him just the greatest?
Ashley, please do some research before feeing your growing child this unhealthy diet.
Rachel Gerrard seems like you are the only unhealthy one judging by your comment.. Very unhappy too I reckon.. Why don’t you just leave people to live their own lives..the need to but in on others ways of living would suggest you’re not convenient about how you’re living your own life
Yeah, I’m really unhappy and unhealthy.
You are honestly golden ⭐️, keep blessing the universe with your amazing videos. You promote positivity and a healthy lifestyle without shoving it down peoples throats and I know everyone of your followers appreciate it. Unlike most fitness channels your don’t feed off people’s insecurities and try to make a business out of it, you just do what you do to put a smile on peoples face and help everyone vibrate higher. Thank you Simnett 🙏🏽 for being one of the most authentic YouTubers in a community of fake ones
Hey Derek! Have you tried putting one or two small frozen pieces of beets into your smoothies? We don’t have berries here in Brazil, so I put those and it makes my smoothies taste amazing. Also, it gives that nice purple color! Keep up the good videos man, you definitely inspired me on my vegan journey!
I’ve been a subscriber since you had less than 10k subscribers. It has been awesome to see all the well-deserved success your channel has had. You’re a class act. Keep it up!
Please keep these coming. Iv had a eczema for ten years and going vegan has almost cured it. You help me come up with recipes and tips!! Thank you so much.
Tree branch pull ups are the most vegan thing I’ve ever seen
did u just assume my gender?
It was pretty hilarious I have to admit.

@chia3677 Meh 2/10 humour attempt.
Coco lol I’m loving this video!! I was so worried about moving forward on my pursuit of becoming vegan! Seeing you making all this in a day without any problem with your fitness, is amazing!!!!!!! Keep it up!! Thanks so much
Great video man. Just started to change my diet and working on a clean meal plan. This gave me some new inspiration to give my meals a twist. Love how you use Miso to put it on toast. Never thought of that. Looking forward to check it out.
It’s videos like these I share to explain to people how you’re able to get your protein intake on a plant-based diet! Thank you very much for this!
I love the tumeric and pepper combo idea. I’m going to add that to my meals! I also use the flax meal which has good omega-3 content. I also use chia seeds. I now add tomato sauce with some avocado to my black beans and brown rice foundation. The tomato sauce has lycopenes. You do NOT get lycopenes from uncooked tomatoes! Lycopenes are one of the strongest free radical molecule scavengers. Free radical molecules wreak havoc by altering all kinds of cellular molecules including DNA. Studies have shown reduced risk for cancer with higher lycopene absorption. However, lycopenes are fat soluble and need some fat to allow for adequate absorption, thus the avocado. Add some high ranked ANDI score vegetables and you have a great meal.
Thank you so much for posting and the nutritional ideas. As a vegetarian here, I’m pulling away from the vegan processed food stuff slowly I’ve been watching Christopher Walker’s content as well here on the youtube. Learning much about testosterone and hormonal balances from him. Your exercise routine is truly amazing. Much success to you!
I’m not trying to be a body builder but I am trying to lose weight. Your channel has helped me soo much. I lost another 3lbs this week just from eating more whole food plant based. You make it sooo easy. Thank you ❤️❤️
As a recent plant-based diet convert, these are some awesome sounding suggestions! Thank you!
I found this video around 8 months ago and i LOVE the smoothie bowl recipe! I wasn’t sure about the cilantro and parsley but it makes such a unique and yummy addition. On this day of being thankful and as I make my way to the kitchen to make my family’s new favorite breakfast, I wanted to extended gratitude to you for sharing my hands down favorite smoothie recipe!!!
Thank you for the inspirations! I’ve been an inconsistent vegan for several years… working my way back. Recently went to a stock show with friends and my heart sank. Felt like an animal slave auction. I really appreciate the positive support to make a successful transition. Also I LOVE Coco’s cameos!
Hey man. I have recently decided to go plant base with my eating. As I am weighing at 177kgs. Your videos on food gives me a great idea on what to have. And it looks really filling too.
Over here in nz. We call both on them sweet potato they are just different types. Yams to us are totally different although we don’t eat yams here in nz. It’s more popular in Tonga and Samoa.
Your joy is contagious!
Thanks so much for this content. Just found your channel and I’m very glad I did so
You have such a sweet demeanor. This is my first video of yours I’ve seen & i’m definitely subscribing! You just seem like such a kind hearted person :’) The world needs more of you!
I came across your channel a few years ago before I was vegan and I watched a few videos for a while but that was it. I had no idea you were vegan at that time but when I became vegan your videos started showing up again. Well now I am hooked. You inspire me so much and now I have a new vision for myself. Thank you heaps.
