-
Crispy Stir-Fry: Shallow fry the pieces with cumin seeds, sesame, and a pinch of sugar for a simple yet addictive side dish.

Storage & Care
Keep frozen at -18°C. For stews and gravies, add directly from frozen. If you plan to mash them for fritters, steam them for 8–10 minutes until a fork passes through easily. Seal the bag tightly to maintain the yam's moisture and prevent oxidation.
Note: Naturally vegan and gluten-free. This 310g pack is a versatile addition to your freezer, perfect for both festive recipes and everyday nutritious meals.
