Yam

Vegetables Year-round

Yams are a year-round tropical staple, with peak freshness following the West African harvest in late summer and autumn. Distinct from sweet potatoes, they offer a dense, starchy texture and a mild, earthy taste. They are a significant source of complex carbohydrates, fiber, potassium, and energy-supporting B vitamins.
