ÑAME ESPINO

Ñame Espino, also known as wild yam, features a rugged brown skin and a white interior with a slightly fibrous texture. It is commonly boiled, roasted, or mashed and served alongside meats or stews in Caribbean and West African cooking. It’s a hearty, energy-dense root that offers potassium, fiber, and vitamin C. It also contains diosgenin, a compound believed to have anti-inflammatory and hormonal benefits.
