How to eat

1. Peel the skin

It is best to remove the skin before eating to avoid abnormal taste such as numbness or pricking. The saponins contained in the yam skin or the phytoalkaloids contained in the mucus may cause yam allergy and itching in a few people. Therefore, direct contact should be avoided when handling yam. Don’t touch anything with your hands after peeling yam. Wash your hands several times immediately, otherwise you will scratch wherever you go and feel itchy.

2. How to keep yam in your hands

After peeling the yam, the mucus on the surface makes it very slippery, making it difficult to grasp or place steadily on the board and cut into the desired shape. At this time, you can apply some salt and vinegar on your hands, so that your hands will not slip when holding the yam, and it will not affect the normal taste of the yam.

3. Soak

After slicing the yam, it needs to be soaked in salt water immediately to prevent oxidation and blackening. [1]
