Abuja Yam 15kg

Abuja Yam must be cooked to be safely eaten, because various natural substances in yams can cause illness if consumed raw. The most common cooking methods  for yam are by boiling, frying or roasting. Yam can be prepared to be eaten with oil, stew or egg sauce. Abuja Yam could be made into porridge or mixed with vegetable. The boiled yam can also be pounded with a traditional mortar and pestle to create a thick, starchy paste known as pounded yam which is eaten with traditional soup or even used as a thickener for soup. Another method of consumption is to leave the raw yam pieces to dry in the sun. When dry, the pieces turn a dark brown color. These are then milled to create a brown powder known in Nigeria as elubo. The powder can be mixed with boiling water to create a thick starchy paste, a kind of pudding known as amala, which is then eaten with local soups and sauces.
