About Candied yams
Candied yams are a classic Southern dish that blends sweet potatoes with sugar, butter, and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg to create a rich, caramelized flavor. Often topped with marshmallows or pecans before baking, this dish is a staple at holiday gatherings in the United States, particularly Thanksgiving. Sweet potatoes, the central ingredient, offer a wealth of nutrition—they’re packed with fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants. However, candied yams are typically prepared with added sugars and fats, which can increase calories and diminish their overall health benefits. Moderation is key to enjoying this comforting dish as part of a balanced diet. While its roots lie in Southern cuisine, variations of candied yams can be found nationwide, each highlighting the natural sweetness and versatility of the humble sweet potato.
