Yams should be firm. Avoid those with bruises, discolored areas, sunken areas or shriveled areas. Avoid Yams with any type of decay as the decay can produce an unfavorable taste.

General
There is always confusion between Sweet Potatoes and Yams. Which one is which?
Technically, both are Sweet Potatoes, but those with the orange flesh inside are typically referred to as Yams and those with whitish color inside are Sweet Potatoes.
I prefer Yams due to the fact that they are exceptionally high in Beta Carotene (Vitamin A). I like Yams because the darker color signifies more nutrients.
