How to Use

1. **Preparation:** The natural saponins in the yam skin can cause itchiness. **Always wear gloves** when peeling and handling the raw yam. If your skin comes into contact with it and becomes itchy, you can use a hairdryer on a warm setting over the area to help dissolve the irritating compounds.

2. **Preventing Oxidation:** After peeling, the yam flesh can darken when exposed to air. To slow this process, you can wash it in water with a small splash of white vinegar. Using ceramic or stainless steel cookware instead of iron pots can also help prevent discoloration.

3. **Cooking:** For a simple and classic preparation that highlights its natural texture, steam the yam for approximately 40 minutes until it is soft and tender.

Care & Safety

Storage:** Upon arrival, immediately unpack the yams. Remove and discard all packaging, especially the pearl cotton foam wrap, to prevent moisture from getting trapped. Store the yams in a cool, dark, and dry place to maintain freshness.

Handling:** Please note that these yams are long and brittle. Some breakage during shipping is normal and does not impact the quality or edibility of the product.

Allergy Warning:** Handle with care, as the raw yam can cause skin irritation for some individuals.
