Pounded Yam 1 KG

It’s a staple food in many West African countries, especially Nigeria. Made from yam tubers, it’s boiled until soft and then pounded until it becomes smooth, stretchy, and dough-like. Traditionally, this is done using a mortar and pestle, but modern methods also use yam flour (often called “instant pounded yam flour”) to make it easier.

Pounded yam is usually served with soups or stews like:

Egusi soup (melon seed soup)

Ogbono soup (wild mango seed soup)

Vegetable soups like Efo Riro

It’s gluten-free, rich in carbohydrates, and has a satisfying, stretchy texture that makes it perfect for scooping up soups with your fingers (the traditional way).
