What’s all that mean?

I think I bought purple yams instead? Is this how sweet potatoes are supposed to look?

plants naturally contain toxins and antinutrients so humans bred them to be consumable (ex. wild mustard plant and grain) so peasants could survive off them. tubers and some nightshades are the safest plants to consume
