Inhame cozido, or boiled yam, is a traditional dish commonly found in Brazilian cuisine, especially in the northeast region. Made simply by boiling yam, this dish highlights the natural flavor and creamy texture of the root vegetable. Yams are rich in complex carbohydrates, dietary fiber, potassium, and vitamins like B6 and C, making them an excellent energy source while supporting heart health and digestion. They are naturally low in fat and contain antioxidants that promote overall wellness. While inhame cozido is typically prepared without added ingredients, some variations may include salt or oil, which should be moderated for a healthier option. Its simplicity and nutritional benefits make it a versatile and wholesome choice, ideal as a side or snack.
