Yampee (Tropical Yams)
Jimmy Capossela
Buyers Take:
Tropical yam used in traditional South American / Caribbean cooking. Also spelled "Yampi" is a starchy root vegetable. It's rough on the outside, but has a soft, moist flesh and a sweet taste. Very nutritious and highly digestible, the yampi can be mashed, fried, or baked.
