Let me share with you how I preserve my yams. This is a good way to ensure that your yams don't end up rotten and also allow you to buy and save yams when they are in season to save some money.

On this day, Dec 24 2020, your video popped up and I decided to play it. How fortuitous for me! You answered every single question I had about freezing yam and options for cooking yam from frozen. I got in my car, drove to the African store and confidently bought lots of yams to preserve. Thanks so much for this very useful video!

Thanks for sharing the salt tip. It's a lifesaver. Had to throw away a whole bunch of frozen yams the last time cos they were discoloured by the time I was ready to use them. Thanks Kwankyewaa.

Learnt something today, on how to preserve yam with salt (oxidized) to prevent discoloration. Was actaully thinking about how to preserve yams , was going to google it, but didn't get round to doing that before i came across your channel today. Good job and GOD bless.

I tired this salt thing and it worked like magic. I didn't sprinkle it though, I out the salt in the water that I used to wash the yam. Awesome. Thanks for that lesson
