The yam is a tuber that seldom reaches our kitchens, but it has a high nutritional value and many little-known benefits. It should always be prepared cooked like other tubers. It should preferably be consumed steamed, baked or grilled so that it loses its as little as possible the carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals that it possesses.
This uncooked food can be ground to be used as flour or starch in other preparations and even in desserts, due to its gelling or thickening capacity, replacing corn starch, being very useful for people with celiac disease.
