yam - kg

Yam is a starchy tuber commonly grown in tropical and subtropical regions around the world. It has a rough, scaly brown skin and white, yellow, or purple flesh depending on the variety. Unlike sweet potatoes, yams are generally drier and starchier. They are a rich source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, potassium, and vitamins like B6 and C. Yams can be boiled, roasted, fried, or pounded into flour and are a staple food in many African, Caribbean, Asian, and South American cuisines.
