  • Let me share with you how I preserve my yams. This is a good way to ensure that your yams don't end up rotten and also allow you to buy and save yams when they are in season to save some money.

    On this day, Dec 24 2020, your video popped up and I decided to play it. How fortuitous for me! You answered every single question I had about freezing yam and options for cooking yam from frozen. I got in my car, drove to the African store and confidently bought lots of yams to preserve.
    Thanks so much for this very useful video!
