Many vegetables are just not eaten enough in our western diets and yams are one of them, you don't see them in many recipes and they just don't feature very often.
This is very sad as they are sweet, juicy and yummy and most kids love sweet juicy foods, so I bet if you asked the kids in primary school class did they like yams?
The common answer would be they don't know, because they haven't had them, and if someone had, they would say yum.
So I'm here to introduce you to this humble little tuber. Did you know that?
