But when i buy amala in bukas they are not soo black & they have no bitter taste, wanted to find out why, would have been the icing on d cake if u had made a little for us to see d outcome,,pls try to answer qtns,thanks🎉

Glad you found the video helpful. The flour comes out better when the skin is peeled. For the outcome, you can apply the same concept in this video to make it with boiling water kzbin.info/www/bejne/p33Iq2ifad6rmMksi=ap5Q0Mw4b0EhHIxM

[@onyekachiamaechina4114]

What toxic substances please? So what of the one that we boil and eat? No need to add some things just for content. Nice process though.

[@Globalfoodbook1]

Yams contain some natural substances that can be toxic if consumed improperly. Here are the main ones: 1. Dioscorine: Found in some wild yam varieties, this alkaloid can cause nausea, vomiting, and neurological symptoms if ingested in large quantities. 2. Oxalates: Present in some yams, oxalates can contribute to kidney stone formation if consumed excessively, especially if not cooked properly. 3. Saponins: Some yams contain saponins, which can cause stomach upset in high amounts. Cooking usually neutralizes these compounds. 4. Hydrogen Cyanide (HCN): Found in bitter yam varieties, it can be harmful if not processed correctly. Proper soaking, cooking, or fermentation removes most of this toxin. To ensure safety, always cook yams thoroughly, peel them before cooking, and avoid consuming wild yams unless you’re certain they are edible.

[@rivartnorton6030]

Why did you destroy all the vitamins in the yams by getting them fermented ?
