Fresh White Ñame, a True Tropical Yam
Fresh Costa Rican white ñame is a true yam with rough brown skin and pale, starchy flesh. Once cooked, it has a mild, nutty flavor and a firm, slightly chewy texture that works well in Caribbean and Latin American dishes.
Ways to Cook Ñame
- Boil or steam and serve as a ground provision
- Add to soups, stews, braises, beans, and curries
- Mash, roast, bake, fry, or prepare scalloped
- Pair with meats, seafood, vegetables, and savory sauces
Preparation and Storage
Scrub the skin, cut into manageable pieces, and remove the tough peel with a knife. Keep peeled pieces in cold water with a little lemon juice until ready to cook to limit discoloration. Cook thoroughly before eating.
Ñame is a true yam, not a sweet potato. Store whole roots in a cool, dark, dry, well-ventilated place. Fresh roots naturally vary in size, shape, and skin tone. Available in 1 lb, 5 lb, and 25 lb options.
