Fresh Jamaican yellow yam in a 1kg pack. Yellow yam has a golden flesh and a slightly sweet, earthy flavour that distinguishes it from white yam varieties — particularly important in Caribbean cooking, where boiled yellow yam is a foundation side dish for ackee and saltfish, brown stew chicken, and Sunday dinner. Peel and chop into large pieces, boil in salted water until tender to a knife. The 1kg pack contains enough for a family meal. A particularly substantial side dish — yellow yam is filling and goes a long way on the plate. Cook within a week of purchase.
