Fresh Brazilian White Cuscus Yam (Ñame)

Fresh Brazilian White Yam with Creamy, Nutty Flavor

This fresh Brazilian white Cuscus yam, also known as ñame, is a hearty tropical tuber used in Caribbean and Latin American cooking. Its pale flesh develops a creamy, lightly nutty flavor and a pleasantly firm texture when thoroughly cooked.

Ways to Prepare It

• Boil or steam for a simple side dish
• Add to soups, stews, and hearty one-pot meals
• Roast, bake, fry, or mash with your favorite seasonings
• Serve with sauces, meat, fish, beans, or vegetables

Preparation

Scrub the exterior, remove the skin completely, cut the flesh into even pieces, and cook thoroughly before serving. Keep peeled pieces in water with a little lemon juice while preparing the rest of your meal to help limit discoloration.
