African White Yam
African White Yam is a starchy tuber native to West Africa and a staple in many African cuisines; it is commonly boiled, pounded into fufu, roasted or fried. It is primarily a carbohydrate food and a useful source of fiber, providing 4.1g per 100g, while also contributing vitamin C and small amounts of minerals and protein; it is very low in fat. As a tuber, it is filling and nutrient-dense—its fiber supports satiety and it offers a favorable amino-acid pattern for a plant-derived carbohydrate source.
