## Overview

This 2-pound Jamaican Yellow Yam is a large, thick-skinned tuber distinct from sweet potatoes, prized for its authentic Caribbean flavor and versatility in cooking. Ready to ship fresh, it’s a must-have staple for adventurous foodies and culinary professionals seeking genuine ingredients.

## Description

Yellow yams are similar to sweet potatoes; however, they are not an alternative for sweet potatoes. The main difference between the two tubers is that yams are large in size and have thicker skin, whereas sweet potatoes are relatively small in size and have a thin peel.

Review: Rotten Yam - Deserves Zero Stars - Do not buy - Disgraceful - This was the worst product I have ever purchased. As a born Jamaican, I am more than familiar with healthy yellow yam. To say I'm highly disappointed is an understatement. This yam was rotten all the way through the whole tuber. I tried to cut away the rot as I bought the yam to see if I could maybe regrow it. The rotten yam was just not good. I had to cut so much of it off and ended up with a smaller piece of yam. That is not worth the money. I felt like I have been scammed out of my hard earned money. See attached images.
Review: Fast delivery. Products as described. Highly recommend. - Excellent products and services. Fast delivery service, considering it was shipped across from East coast to the Pacific Northwest I would definitely buy from this vendor time and time again.
