You will receive one or more tubers with a combined weight equal to the number of pounds you purchase.
You will be able to choose small tubers (better for growing, easier to store) or large tubers (better for cooking).

The yams you purchase from this listing generally range from 1 – 10 lbs and were all recently harvested from our farm in Tallahassee Florida. They were allowed to air dry for a few days and then stored securely to await their new owner – YOU!

They can be cooked and eaten in your favorite recipe.

They can also be cut into pieces and planted to grow your own edible tubers. A single tuber can produce several plants. These will grow faster than the bulbils, since more stored nutrients are available to fuel the plant's growth.

Ube, the popular purple yam from the Philippines, has become popular worldwide in recent times. In America the term "yam" is often used when referring to sweet potatoes and this has created much confusion. Some online sellers offer sweet potatoes for sale under the false title Dioscorea alata, capitalizing on this popularity.

This listing is for true purple yams. You can purchase purple sweet potatoes, at a much lower price, by visiting the store.

Yams are perennial herbaceous vines native to Africa, Asia, and the Americas and cultivated for the consumption of their starchy tubers. The tubers themselves, also called "yams", come in a variety of forms ranging from creamy white to vivid purple.

Your purple yam will ship via USPS Ground Advantage. You can your shipping to USPS Priority Mail or USPS Priority Mail Express at checkout.
