Tropical Sun Yam Flour 1.5 kg (Pack of 6)

Product Information

Amongst the major roots and tubers, properly stored yam is considered to be the least perishable. Successful storage of yams requires: [29] [30] Combine the flour, milk, egg, salt, pepper cayenne, nutmeg, milk, and melted butter into a bowl. You should end up with a batter consistency. Yam fritters: The starchy tubers can be made into fritters. Can also be mashed, formed into cakes and fried. For amylose, CRI D. alata varieties, afase biri, soanyinto and ahodenfo with 20.79%, 20.94% and 19.57% respectively had no significant differences at p < 0.05 among them. These values were higher than the local D. alata varieties. CRI D. rotundata, pona and mankrong pona had same amylose content of approximately 17% ( Table 1). Amylose content of many yam species have been quantified to range from 1.4% to 50% (Pérez et al., Citation2011) while varieties specific to Ghana have 9.22–21.66% (Afoakwa et al., Citation2013). The results from the study are in the range of the reported values since the maximum value was 20.94%. CRI D. alata varieties ( ahodenfo, soanyinto and afase biri) had slightly higher amylose than local varieties. Although Otegbayo et al. ( Citation2012) reported significantly higher amylose content for D. alata varieties compared to D. rotundata, the findings of this study is different as some D. rotundata varieties had higher values than D. alata varieties ( Table 1). These variations in amylose content could be linked to the botanical source, climatic conditions and soil type during growth (Okunlola & Odeku, Citation2011).

BAKE GLUTEN-FREE, ORGANIC, AND TASTY DESSERTS You are still able to bake anything you like and have as many sugary treats as you prefer which are healthier and organic. Make your house smell sweet and allow yourself to indulge in your cravings as many times as you want.Consumption of yam flour provides the body with essential minerals such as iron which regulates blood formation and prevents clotting in the body. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix with a wooden spoon until a wet dough is formed and add the olive oil. Yam chips, fries and Wedges: Yams can be cut into wedges, stips, or thinly sliced, seasonings are added, then fried to be made into yam fries or cooked in the style of potato chips or french fries. They don't taste the same as egg or wheat noodles, but they're still good. It's also gluten-free so my daughter can eat it too. She has a gluten allergy, so she doesn't get to enjoy regular pasta at all. Yam flour noodles replaced pasta for her.

They are large plants; the vines can be as long as 10 to 12m (33 to 39ft). The tubers most often weigh about 2.5 to 5kg (6 to 11lb) each, but can weigh as much as 25kg (55lb). After 7 to 12 months' growth, the tubers are harvested. In Africa, most are pounded into a paste to make the traditional dish of "pounded yam", known as Iyan. [18] D. alata [ edit ] Water yam ( D. alata) The trough is the ability of granules to remain undisrupted when starch is subjected to a period of constant high temperature and mechanical shear stress. Among all the starch samples, CRI afase biri possesses the ability to withstand high temperature and, long duration processing. For the flours, Mankrong pona and afase soanyinto will be valuable in terms of long duration processing. Breakdown for local varieties ( Table 3) were generally low (228–498 cP) except serwaa ( D. rotundata) which had a high value of 1628 cP. The breakdown establishes the difference between peak and trough viscosity and shows how stable the starch paste is during heating (Otegbayo et al., Citation2014). Starches of CRI Kukrupa, ahodenfo, and soanyinto with high values (1783, 1411, 1628 cP) respectively may be associated with low stability (Sandhu & Singh, Citation2007). The local D. alata varieties however had very low values (228, 404 cP), making them more stable than the new varieties. a b c Oke, O.L. (1990). Redhead, J.; Hussain, M.A. (eds.).

Yam is the common name for some species in the genus Dioscorea (family Dioscoreaceae). These are perennial herbaceous vines cultivated for the consumption of their starchy tubers in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Oceania. There are many cultivars of yam though only six are important as staples in the tropics. The economically important species grown are Dioscorea rotundata (white yam), Dioscorea alata (yellow yam), Dioscorea bulbifera (aerial yam), Dioscorea esculenta (Chinese yam) and Dioscorea dumenterum (trifoliate yam). Yams are high in vitamin C, dietary fiber, vitamin B6, potassium, and manganese; while being low in saturated fat and sodium.Yam flour contains various vitamins and antioxidants that reduce the rate of oxidative stress in the body, thus making the immune system stronger and better.

D. japonica – known as East Asian mountain yam, yamaimo, or Japanese mountain yam – is a type of yam (Dioscorea) native to Japan (including Ryukyu and Bonin Islands), Korea, China, Taiwan, and Assam. Aerial or potato yams ( D. bulbifera) have antinutritional factors. In Asia, detoxification methods, involving water extraction, fermentation, and roasting of the grated tuber, are used for bitter cultivars of this yam. The bitter compounds in yams also known locally as air potato include diosbulbin and possibly saponins, such as diosgenin. [39] In Indonesia, an extract of air potato is used in the preparation of arrow poison.

[ permanent dead link] Yam flour is often used as a gluten-free alternative to wheat flour, and it’s also a good source of fiber and nutrients. In Nigeria, though yams can be consumed by boiling, roasting and processed to yield Amala (especially in the South western part of the country), it can also be processed into the production of instant yam flour.For the recipe, you will need 2 cups of yam flour, 1 cup of sparkling water, a pinch of salt and pepper, and your chosen vegetables. We recommend tender stem broccoli and aubergine. D. hirtiflora subsp. pedicellata, lusala, busala or lwidi, is native to Tropical Africa. It is widely harvested and eaten in Southern Zambia where it grows in open forest areas. In Southern Zambia, it is an important addition to the March–September diets of almost all, and income of over half of rural households. [25] Research on propagation of this subspecies to alleviate the threat from wild harvest has been successful. [26] D. japonica [ edit ] In forested areas, tubers grow in areas where other tree roots are present. Harvesting the tuber then involves the additional step of freeing them from other roots. This often causes tuber damage. In Africa, South and Southeast Asia as well as the tropical Pacific islands Amorphophallus paeoniifolius is grown and known as "elephant foot yam". [12]
