TIL: Satsuma, the province in Japan that gives its name to a species of citrus fruits, produces sweet potatoes to the point that they’re known in Japan as Satsuma-Imo or Satsuma potato (薩摩芋). In fact, satsumas weren’t even native to the area until they were imported there in the Meiji era (1868–1912).
