About Boiled yam balls
Boiled Yam Balls are a simple yet nutritious dish originating from West African cuisine, celebrated for its wholesome ingredients and versatility. These round, bite-sized balls are crafted from peeled and boiled yams, mashed and mixed with optional spices, herbs, and sometimes a touch of butter or egg as a binder. Packed with complex carbohydrates, yams provide sustained energy while being rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, including vitamin C and potassium. Yam Balls can be enjoyed plain or enhanced with protein-rich fillings like fish or beans, making them a balanced choice for meals or snacks. Typically steamed or lightly fried, this preparation method ensures they remain low in fat. However, excessive frying or heavy oil use can increase calorie content. Perfect for anyone seeking flavorful and nutrient-dense options, Boiled Yam Balls showcase the health benefits and culinary creativity of traditional African cooking.
