Fresh Ghana white yam in a 1kg pack. Ghanaian white yam is prized for its firm texture and mild, slightly sweet flavour — particularly suited to boiling, frying, or pounding into fufu. The flesh is white and dense; cook well to soften, then serve alongside Caribbean and West African stews, in soups, or as the foundation starch of a traditional fufu meal. Peel and chop into pieces; boil in salted water until tender to a knife. The 1kg pack contains enough for a family meal. Particularly important in Ghanaian and Nigerian cooking traditions across the UK diaspora.
