A Traditional Staple for African and Caribbean Meals

Fresh African yam is a true yam from the Dioscorea family, not a sweet potato. Its rough, bark-like skin surrounds pale, starchy flesh with a mild, earthy flavor and a firm texture that suits hearty savory cooking.

Bring it to the table boiled alongside a rich sauce, mashed into pounded yam, or simmered in a warming pot of soup. Its mild taste pairs naturally with palm oil, spicy sauces, meat, fish, and vegetables.
