Although this article deals only with the common or white yam, there are many other edible tubers that bear the name "Yam".

-Other species of genus Dioscorea.
-Jicama, a tuber similar to the yam of the botanical family convolvulanceae
-Taro and tania of the botanical family Araceae, which are found in Southeast Asia.


PROPERTIES AND INDICATIONS: Common or white yams as well as other similar tubers called yams,are staple food in many tropical regions because of their richness in carbohydrates in the form of starch (23.8%). However because they require much effort to grow and rather poor in proteins, the Yam is being progressively replaced by sweet cassava and sweet potatoes.
