History, social and cultural relevance

Yams originated in Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. Africans call yams “nyami,” which is

where we get the word “yam.” They are cylindrical and vary in size. There are more than 150 varieties of yams available world-wide. Yams have a dense white, purple, or red flesh and scaly brown skin with dark spots. A yam is starchy and dry. In African culture, it is typically boiled or roasted. They have a shelf-life of six months. 54 million tons of yams are farmed in sub-Saharan Africa. This place, called the “yam belt” produces 95 percent of the world’s yams. Yams and sweet potatoes are often grouped together. Sweet potato and yam are not interchangeable terms.
