Much like a potato, there are many ways to cook and prepare ñame, pronounced (Nyah-May), favored for its starchy texture and neutral, almost nutty flavor. It’s been around since ancient times and while Americans use the word “yam” to refer to a sweet, moist, orange-fleshed variety of sweet potato, to everyone else in the world a yam is the “tropical yam” or ñame—a firm tuber with white flesh. J&C Tropicals also carries the ñame espino variety from Colombia. HOW TO EAT HOW TO STORE SEASON WHERE IT’S GROWN & SOURCED HEALTH BENEFITS Ñame can be baked, boiled, steamed, scalloped, fried or creamed.
