Yam, Organic

This vegetable has a rough skin which is difficult to peel, but softens after heating. The skins vary in color from dark brown to light pink. The majority of the vegetable is composed of a much softer substance known as the "meat". This substance ranges in color from white or yellow to purple or pink in mature yams.

There are many cultivars of Yam. Although some varieties of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) are also called yam in parts of the United States and Canada, however the sweet potato is not part of the yam family.

Current Origin: California 

Azure keeps its produce at a chilled temperature in order to maximum the freshness and shelf life of the product. In order for customers to enjoy Azure produce for more than a couple of days beyond delivery, it must be kept at a refrigerated temperature at all times until consumption. In addition, do not wash your produce until you are ready to enjoy it. The fruit bowls are lovely but produce will not last out on the counter top.  Ideal Storage temp for Yams is 59 degrees~

Note: We do our best to ship quality produce to Alaska and Hawaii, but due to unknown conditions at the barge lines, we cannot guarantee the quality on arrival.
