Potato is a stem vegetable. Underground stem is modified into tubers. Sometimes we may notice that potatoes have partly or fully turned green. Green parts contain toxins and so should never be consumed.
Sweet potatoes aren't tubers, like potatoes. They're roots — swollen, puffed-up parts of the root. "We think the bacteria genes help the plant produce two hormones that change the root and make it something edible," Kreuze tells Goats and Soda. "We need to prove that, but right now, we can't find any sweet potatoes without these genes."
