Yam is a treasure, so Xiao Qiang, who loves health, eats it at home almost every day. I often cook porridge with iron yam and steam it occasionally. Vegetable yam is mainly used for cooking. These two kinds of yam are quite different in appearance, nutritional value and suitability for cooking or porridge. We often see two kinds of yam in the market: one is commonly known as vegetable yam and the other is iron yam. Yam is thick and strong, with high moisture content, and it tastes crisp. Iron stick yam is thinner, and as a medicinal yam, it has more health care functions.
Yam is nutritious and cheap. It has always been considered as a good health care product. It can be used as both medicine and food, and has a good nourishing effect on the spleen and stomach. If you want to lose weight, the effect is also very good. Before getting up every morning or going to bed at night, I often feel that there are some dry friends in my mouth, so I can eat some yam to relieve it. It should be noted that yam cannot be eaten raw, and it must be processed before eating.
Yam belongs to potato and is recognized as a relatively healthy food. Yam, like other potatoes, is rich in starch and belongs to the staple food. In the daily diet, if you often eat some yam instead of refined rice flour, it is good for your health. Yam is mainly produced in Aibo, Wuzhi, wen county and other places in Henan, and also cultivated in Shaanxi, Shandong, Hebei, Zhejiang, Hunan, Sichuan, Yunnan, Guizhou and Guangxi. Guangxi, Hebei, Henan and other major producing areas constitute the main planting areas of yam.
