Product Description

The term African yam refers to some members of the genus Dioscorea, the two main ones being white yam (Dioscorea rotundata) and yellow yam (Discorea cayennensis). There are other types of yams consumed within the African continent, but the white yam is most commonly consumed. There are also different cultivars of African yams, hence why we have Puna yam, Nigerian yam, Onitsha yam, Guinea yam etc.
