Yams are as nutritious as they are delicious. They are packed full of vitamins, minerals and fibre. They are also rich in potassium and manganese, which are integral in supporting bone health, growth, metabolism and heart function. This vegetable also provides copper and Vitamin C. Thus, Copper is vital for red cell production and iron absorption whilst Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant which can boost your immune system.
Eating yams may even boost your brain. In fact, yams have a unique compound called diosgenin, which has been known to promote neuron growth and enhance brain function. The antioxidants in yams may help reduce inflammation. Moreover, several animal studies have concluded that yams improve blood sugar control. The effects are thought to be due to their rich resistant starch and dietary fibre contents.
Storage advice:
For optimal storage of white yams, it is essential to keep them in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated place. Avoid storing them in the refrigerator, as the cold temperature can negatively impact their texture and taste. Instead, choose a dry location with temperatures ranging between 50-70°F (10-21°C). A pantry or cellar is often suitable for this purpose. Make sure to keep the yams away from direct sunlight to prevent sprouting and spoilage. Additionally, store them loosely rather than in plastic bags to allow for proper air circulation. Regularly check for any signs of decay or sprouting, removing any affected yams promptly to prevent the spread of spoilage. Following these guidelines will help extend the shelf life of white yams and maintain their quality for a more extended period.
