About Mashed yam
Mashed yam is a wholesome dish made from cooked yams, which are starchy root vegetables native to Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. This versatile dish is popular across various cuisines, particularly West African, where it is used as a staple side or paired with soups and stews. The preparation involves boiling yams until tender, then mashing them to a smooth consistency, often with simple seasonings like salt or incorporating ingredients like butter, milk, or herbs for added flavor. Rich in dietary fiber, vitamins like vitamin C and B6, and minerals including potassium and manganese, mashed yam supports digestion and boosts heart health. Its natural complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy. However, when combined with high-fat ingredients like butter or cream, the calorie content increases. Mashed yam is a nutrient-dense option that can be enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet.
