Nutrition

Nutritional value per 100g 

Usage

Like potatoes, they can be used in many different ways. Yam can be boiled, fried, roasted, baked, made into flour to make amala, pounded into pounded yam (Iyan), used to make porridge (Asaro), stews, yam pepper soup and so on.

Storage

Yam can be stored at room temperature for up to 1 week. To keep the yam fresh for a longer time, store it in a cool and dark place such as a pantry or cupboard. Yam can also be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Cooked yam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Preparation

When you want to prepare yams, one important part is the selection process. When selecting yams, look for tubers that are firm and free from blemishes. Avoid yams that are soft or have been stored for a long time, as they will not be as flavourful.

When you have gotten your yams, cut them up into thick slices or cubes. Peel the skin off, and wash them.

One way you can cook a yam dish, especially after boiling the yams, is by making a Yam and Banana Bread. This bread is a delicious and easy way to use yams. It makes a great breakfast or snack.

Ingredients:

- Yams

- Bananas

- Eggs

- Flour

- Baking powder

- Salt

- Butter

- Sugar

- Cinnamon

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease and flour a loaf pan. In a bowl, mash the boiled yams and bananas. Add the eggs and stir to combine. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until everything is combined.

Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan. Sprinkle it with sugar and cinnamon. Bake for 45-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of the bread comes out clean. Allow the bread to cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.

Package Type

Our yams don’t have their package. They are carefully packed at the bottom of the box, to ensure they don’t mash other products in your box.

Recycling Information

After peeling the yam tubers throw the peels into the compost bin.

Other Information

Although yams are generally considered to be healthy food, some people may be allergic to them. The most common symptom of a yam allergy is gastrointestinal distress, such as cramping, diarrhoea, and vomiting. If you experience any of these symptoms after eating yams, it's important to see a doctor or allergist for diagnosis and treatment.

Dietary Information

Yams are a good source of fibre, which helps to promote regularity and prevent constipation. They are also a good source of vitamins A and C, potassium, and manganese, which are all essential for good health. They also contain antioxidants that have been linked to various health benefits, such as reducing inflammation, boosting immunity, and protecting against cancer.

Did You Know?

• Yam is a starchy vegetable. 
• There are about 600 species of yam in the world, most of which are in the tropics. 
• As early as 10,000 years ago, people in Africa and Asia began growing yams instead of digging wild yams. 
• The yam leaf has many veins extending from the apex of the heart shape to the entire surface of the leaf, and the tendrils of the plant have long stems.
• Yams are usually in season from late spring to early fall.
• Yam allergies are rare but can occur. Symptoms of a yam allergy include hives, itchiness, swelling, difficulty breathing, and gastrointestinal upset.
• In parts of the United States and Canada, "Yam" may be used to represent an unrelated sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) cultivar. 
• The name "Yam" seems to be derived from the Portuguese Inhame or Canary (Spain) name, which is derived from the West African language during the trade. The main derivative borrows the verb that means "eat." 
• Yams are related to palms, grass and orchids.
