Yams

Yams are not only filled with flavor but they are also nutrient-dense sources of energy.They are very low in fat but yield lots of energy and fiber with vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, calcium, phosphorus, and choline.

Jon succeeded in developing the simplest and sweetest way to make yams and they were a huge hit in the kitchen! We washed and sliced the yams into discs. Then we shook some cinnamon (excellent for controlling optimal blood glucose levels) on them, coated them with orange juice (vitamin C, folate and B vitamins) and topped it off with slices of fresh pineapple (vitamin C, folate, bromelin).

Simple, delicious and full of nutrition! Cheers!
