I was in for a huge surprise in July when I stumbled on Yellow Yams in a grocery store in New York. To say that I was surprised is an understatement. I stood at the store, making a big spectacle of my findings that morning.

*White Yam*
The drama became a beautiful delight to shoppers who watched as I photographed the staple food I knew from childhood. My friend, who I accompanied to the store laughed heartily at the drama unfolding before her eyes. Haha.

*Unripe and ripe plantain*
Well, who would blame me? I love yam and the YELLOW YAM was actually the SURPRISE of the day. So I felt a certain nostalgia within me as I looked intently in admiration. I occasionally find white yams in Denmark where I live, but never came across the yellow species.

*Yellow Yam – surprised to find my favourite yam in the US*
So, you can imagine the huge surprise I got to find my favourite yellow yam in the United States. This is a scarce commodity in Denmark. And I have never seen yam displayed in such a big quantity in any store in Europe. They don’t come cheap either when you find them at all.

*White Yam*
Yams and Plantains are native to Africa and some other countries like Jamaica. These delicious foodies are common foods in Nigeria.
If I had a way, I would have bought the entire yellow yams in that store and return with them to Denmark. Haha.
