- How to store fresh yam for as long as you wish.
This 'how to video' is for yam lovers just like me, who would like to eat yam all year round (meaning, throughout the year) without any worry that it would get spoilt. The best temperature to store raw yam is said to be between 12-16ºC, which is clearly lower than the average room temperature of 21ºC.
Like other vegetables, yam tuber is seasonal and perishable (that is, it is liable to decay or spoil or go bad quite quickly). Additionally, yam can be very expensive when it is not in season.
So, this video will solve a few problems:
1 Saves you some money
2 Allows you to continue to eat yam all year round
3 Prevents your yam from going bad
4 Keeps your uncooked yam fresh forever
I Hope you find this video helpful.

I stored my yam the same way. However, your circular peeling style is highly appreciated from the regular lengthy style.
Thank you so much 😊
This is so commonsensical. Thanks for this valuable insight. Extremely useful. No more wastage. No more spoilage. 👍
Mannie Sweetie Thank you for your lovely comment. Thanks for watching.
Thanks sweety l am Haïtian we love yams and it is good to know that i préserve them in the freezer
For those outside the country, especially. I do it all the time, it can last for months in the freezer
Does the texture change when you need to use it?
@@igbo_girlI tried this without straining, drying or pre freezing my yam. It came out tasting funny. I'd like to do it again following your steps.
Thanks for showing such an easy way to preserve yams.
Geneveive Cuff Thanks for watching.
Yes this is what I do, and also put a little vinegar into the water when washing the yam 🍠
Malt vinegar or white vinegar. I only have malt (Brown colour)
sheena lynn I always used the white vinegar !!!! but try what you have and see how it works.
Yes the vinegar help from brown. The vinegar n lime or lemon juice
Thank you. As a singleton, I never buy because where I go to shop, they won't cut them smaller. Off to get a supply now!
Glad you found the video helpful. Thank you for watching.
Thanks sis. My mom taught me this back in the days. I put everything in the freezer, garri, raw beans, elubo, flour and all. It preserves well. Thanks again.
Awesome. Moms are the best. Thanks for watching 😀.
The garri and d raw beans should be in a nylon? Please
@@ngoziabianulia6643 yes and tightly sealed
Kemi Agbonlahor freezing also kills the weevils....
Wow
This is such an easier way to peel yam. I usually peel the yam whole long way then cut it up. I will try your way next time 👍🏼😊
Great! Thanks for watching
Eat yam with your hand. It tastes better. Nice video. I will begin to buy yams again without tears.
O Edeko I agree 😀. Thanks for watching.
Completely agree. All African food taste better when you're eating them with your hands
Lesson learn, Never seen yam so neatly peel I never like peeling yam because its itches and cuse scars on my hand. I only like the white soft yams for boiling and the yellow for roasting, this new learn circle cut with a gloved on hand I will be cooking yam on my own and preserve what I can't eat.
Great! Thank you for watching.
Very proud of you you! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
We learn from you and most of all you present video a good manners and clean. That’s how you do it
Mujinga Koko Thank you for your lovely comment 😊
A friend send this to me and it has just saved my life. Thank you.
Great! Your friend is the best, please help me say thanks to your friend. Thanks for watching 😀.
I always do this I just peel it wash it and put it straight in the freezer from the freezer to the pot just like that it works
I love yam. I soak the yams in salt water, peel it, get rid of excess water and then put in freezer bags to the.freezer to boiling water when ready to cook. Yam still be fresh.
Sounds great! Thank you for watching!
I love how she says its that easy.. Im guessing the lady is nigerian and lives in south london.
Good for those who leave abroad who have constant electricity not country like Nigeria
And jamaica
Yes i think
And Ghana
@@angelacampbell1706 a how often light go weh here?
Now i know how to cook yam with egg thank you for sharing keep in touch
Waooo...thanks..am an African but u didn't know thise b4.☺👍
Rachel Ngina Thanks for watching 😀
Great tip. Now if I can ever get yam it to HK I know how to keep it
Thank you so much for this video. I have been wondering how to preserve the raw food when there is a glut of them at cheap prices. Please tell me what alternative to parchment paper l could use. Thank a million
Thanks for sharing this video with others. It's interesting
Thanks
You can use a silicon cooking mat.. the purpose of the parchment paper is so the yam doesn’t stick when you put it in the freezer.
@@mabes861 thanks
Thanks learnt a lot from this clip bcoz anytime I visit Nigeria always buy yam but can't preserve it .Many thanks gonna try it.
Thanks for watching 😀
They allow you enter with your yams with no questions? I’ll ask my mom to get some when coming.
@@nikkyo4196 I am alwaz lucky!God always keep them busy with other people and matters. It's God my sister I must confess.
i've done everything including this way and the yam just never stay,so my nephew says to cook the yam and place in the freezer in the same water that was used to cook it,When ready to use just pour it in the pot with water and all just don't overcook if you're cooking other foods too,put yam in last so it will be just nice,yes it works perfect!
I just cut peel wash then put in Ziploc bag and from the freezer to the pot and it works perfectly 👍
The method works perfectly for me, I freeze and always cooks from freezer to a pot of boiling water. However there are many other methods that can also be used. I'm glad you found what works best for you. Thank you for watching.
Thank you sooo much! I’ve always lamented when any yam spoils! I love yam so much more than cassava or plaintain! Thank you again!!!
Thanks for watching 😀
That is if you are living in a country where their light quencheth not.
You're right!
You are so right, Lol
Lol but the good thing about such country is that yam is quite cheap there unlike paying about $20 for a tuber 😂 😂
@@summersprings8767 $20 for a tuber, that is outrageous! !!
@@favourchinwendualabi8586 sadly, it's true. Yam is expensive commodity outside,Nigeria, especially in Europe and America.
Thank you yam is one of my favorite foods now I can store my yams in the right way
Glad you found the video helpful! Thank you for watching.
Nice piece of yam 😊. I freeze mine too. I literally peel, rinse, dry and freeze.
Oh wow.... I have yam here, maybe I should try it too😉
Yes o, this method of preservation has really helped 😃
Can we blanch yam before freezing it, so as to keep its properties intact for a longer time interval in the freezer?
This is a very interesting way to save some money for sure , thank you for sharing this method...
Thanks for watching!
Oh thanks. This will also save my life and time lol I love yam but at the thought of peeling I'll have something else or I'll just go my grandma's way *cut everything with peels, wash well, and no headache* 😂😂😂
You can as well freeze the slices with the peel/skin and peel the skin once cooked. Thanks for watching and for your comment 😃
🤣🤣🤣👍🏾
Rice akars
Oh this is so smart! I currently live by myself and struggle to get through a whole yam by myself. I'll be trying this soon. Thank you for sharing. I love your videos :)
Thanks for your lovely comment. Thanks for watching 😃.
Never done it like this before have to try it thank u
Thank you very much I just learned something because I love you but I never knew how to preserve it thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thank you.
Wow my friend sent to me your video thanks to her I have learned alot from your videos my Almighty protect you to teach us more🙏
Wow, thank you! Please help me thank your friend. Thank you so much for subscribing 😊.
Put the whole tuber in the fridge and you’re good. That’s what I’ve started doing. Saves time cutting up on yam to put in the freezer.
It still spoils
Thank you for this video... I don’t know why it was in my suggestions, but I’m happy it was
Thank you for watching
If you do not have the paper can you use kitchen paper
Thanks for this wonderful video. I am also a big fan of yam.
Davidson Vincent Thanks for watching 😀
That's how it preserve and cook my Jamaican yam. Good info.
Nice! Thanks for watching 😊
Wow. Thank you. Now I know how to store even my arrowroots (Nduma).
Thanks for watching.
Thanks for sharing, very educative. May I know why the color of the yam changes after it’s kept in the freezer. Sometimes it changes to brownish color. Pls explain why and how we can avoid that. Thanks
Its colour tends to change due to the type yam or how good the yam is. Thanks
Exposure to the air/oxygen.
Even white potatoes do that, it's just exposure to oxygen. That's why you have to put yams/potatoes to sit in a bowl water as soon as you've cut and peeled them, to prevent the oxidisation (when they start to get that brownish/greyiah colour). Once you're done cutting and peeling, simply rinse them, drain the water and then use them however you want.
@@maxinesaltking7188 Excellent! I learnt from your explanation. Can yams that are intended to be used for frying be preserved this way too?
Love the music...looks yummy. I eat a lot of the red yams and sweet potatoes.
😲😲😲They got red yams!!!!! WoW never seen that before!!! Amazing
Eraina Smith Red yams are not actually yams at all. Though labeled as such, they are all sweet potatoes. Merchants made up the yam/sweet potato ad to increase sales early in the 20th century. They are all varieties of sweet potatoes. Actual yams are what was shown in this video. Some varieties from the Caribbean have a more yellow look inside but are still the tree root looking yam.

Just a few drops of lemon or lime will keep the black spots off pretty much all your root food that will turn dark quickly.
What do you do squeeze the lime into the water?
You are right. Yam can be quite costly at times.
Thank you for watching 😊.
Gr8 idea. But i am curious. Why pre-freeze? Why not prepare and freeze straight away? What is the purpose of the pre-freeze stage?
My thought
Pre-freezing the yam cubes or slices prevents the yam from sticking together. It can be very difficult to separate frozen yam, especially if your are cooking just some of the frozen yam. The yam is no more fresh once cooked. Thanks for watching.
Thankyou for the tips.
Thank you for watching.
Thank you for this video but I would want to know the essence of pre freezing for 2hrs since it's going to be stored in the freezer. Thank you
Hi, this is to prevent the yam slices or cubes from sticking together. Thank you for watching 😃
I dont pre-freeze the yam, I freeze straightaway, and it comes apart easily to cook from frozen.
Nice video.
Thanks Hereigns, I have never pre freezed too and it has always been good. I take it straight to the pot and after a few minutes of boiling everything falls apart on its own
I was going to ask too because I just put it straight into the freezer after straining water from the yam and have no issue whatsoever. I could try this though hope I don't forget it in the freezer sha😃😃
@@funmidina4983 lol.....same here!!.. ..I cant guarantee that I wont forget it either
Hi, thank you so much for this video! I live in Europe, but I love cooking and discovering new recipes. I recently bought a yam for the very first time, so I had no idea what to do with it. If I want to just fry the yam as cubes in a pan with some olive oil, could I do that straight out of the freezer and fry them until crispy? Or do I need to boil them first for a little bit before frying it in the pan?
Yes very educative video!! Thanks so much sis. Please I have the same question, can I try straight out from the freezer????
Peel, wash and fry straight. No need to freeze
Welcome dear
No,you don't need to boil it before frying it.Just slice them in a nice form and then fry .I think is cool in that method.

Girl you saved me I was just about to thaw
Your page is really educative
Thank you for your comment. Very encouraging. 😃
Can I do this process with other ground provisions like dasheen, cassava, sweet potatoes etc?
I do that anyway, you can do it with other provision. Try green banana . Not plantain.
Something needs to be added to water to prevent oxidation. Either lemon or vinegar
I needed this and appreciates the content! New sub 👍🏾
Awesome! Thank you!

Tk Production Thank you 😀
I did this and it still spoilt, what could be the cause? Then I noticed when I seasoned it, it didn’t penetrate into the yam.

I’m in Melbourne, Australia and I cannot get any yam 😩😩😩 I’m from Jamaica and I miss my yams ☹️☹️☹️
I did peel my yam and freeze it. When I was ready to use the yam it was black. Is there a way to prevent this?
Lemon juice help to preserve Yams and Cassava before freezing. Just rub in the lemon juice and freeze.
Marvelous preservativeness!..
Thank you.
Nice 1 ,great job 👏👍👌🏽.
Thank you! Cheers!
