Yam (Puna)

White yam is a starchy, nutrient-rich tuber enjoyed across many African and Caribbean cuisines. With its firm texture and mildly sweet flavour, it’s perfect for boiling, frying, roasting, or pounding into smooth, stretchy pounded yam.

Naturally high in complex carbohydrates, fibre, and essential minerals like potassium and manganese, white yam provides long-lasting energy while supporting a balanced diet. Whether served with stews, sauces, or as a standalone delicacy, it’s a true comfort food staple.
