How I Preserve My Yams. Save Time And Money.

[@adaokeke573]

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!

[@AB-yj9kg]

Thank you my sister. I just made yam & plantain fufu for the first time in my life, inspired by watching one of your videos. My ancestors are proud. Thank you, from California. ❤

[@diannh2894]

I just bought a whole bag for a dollar! I love my little Peruvian market. Instead of throwing away they give away for cheap! Amazing thank u!

[@bicesterventuresnigltd3402]

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.

[@llyoce6228]

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.

[@lindoskyi]

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

[@avalyne6734]

I had been wondering for a while whether it was possible to store yams, even plantains by refrigeration, now I have my answer. Thank's a lot!!!

[@NanaabasKitchen]

What a helpful tip! Saving money, a great bargain, and supporting locally owned small businesses! The car non skid statement from mom always gets me 😂😂😂😅👌🏾thank you Onuawaa 🥰 the domido and fried yams on the end of the video! PEOPLE 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾😋 I still dream about it! 🤗❤️

[@KwankyewaasKitchen]

Thank you Onuawaa! You know we can’t joke with our Maa grace 🙏🏾🙏🏾. Lol I can never cut yams and not remember that statement 🤦🏾🤦🏾🤣🤣. We need to do some social distancing domido hook up soon🥰🥰🥰

[@EmmasLittleKitchenOfficial]

Thank you so much for teaching me this, Auntie. We don’t have yams in our city here in China but I will try this in the future ❤️

[@blessed1940]

Oh. Thank you. I have a big garden and i don't know how to preserve my vegetables. Maybe just put a little salt and freeze them.

[@abiolageorge1421]

I also add an extra step of drying the washed yam on kitchen paper before freezing and they don't stick together in the bag

[@KwankyewaasKitchen]

That is a great tip!!👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks for sharing❤️

[@dorisglover6636]

You can also steal the Yaw and it tests deloius. Also i tend freeze my yaws all together and most they separate when you really to cook them

[@nickih8807]

Hi sister! I wish I could love yam! I am from Jamaica! I don’t love yam, but I would welcome various ways that I can use them! Thank you so much for sharing your tips!!

[@KwankyewaasKitchen]

Hi sis, have you ever tried it fried? It is most loved that way. Also we use it to make pottage and that is a great comfort meal. I will share more yam recipes.❤️

[@CamirrasKitchen]

I have never made yams before. my hubby is from ghana and I'm sure he would love it. I will have to try it! I have mastered a few ghanaian dishes but yam I have yet to explore!

[@KwankyewaasKitchen]

He will most likely like fried yam. We typically just boil it and have it with some stew or soup.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

@@KwankyewaasKitchen Thanks! I'll do it as a surprise one day. Im sure he hasn't had it in over a year

Mine have all discolored, I feel discouraged but this tip is helpful. Was thinking of per boiling before storage but the salt thing is a must try.

[@truezladye1893]

Great tips and the salt does help. Wow, that was a bargain price you paid. I estimated that it would cost about £70 or more for that amount of yams in the UK. 😊

[@baumi8125]

Oh wow that's so expensive - that's like £14 per large yam. I never knew yams were so expensive - I guess cause I compare them to potatoes as another starchy vegetable and they're super cheap

[@dd1ddee]

What!!! Where do you buy your yams from..... please don't ever go back to that shop. 😫 BTW I'm also in UK and can't ever pay that price.

[@truezladye1893]

@@dd1ddee Up North everything is very expensive. Plantains, yams all food stuffs. Birmingham, London areas are cheaper coz there's more demand.

[@IOG2K]

@@truezladye1893 Demand doesn’t = less expensive by the way. In fact it means more expensive.
