Yam Dishes

Nigeria is the largest producer of yams, amounting to at least 70% of the world’s production. This starchy root tuber is a staple Nigerian diet; yam is adaptable to an extensive range of dishes that serve multiple purposes and functions.

The beauty of this staple food is its versatility. From pounded yam to yam pottage to the native ikokore and ojojo, each comes with its own unique taste.

There is no other Nigerian food as multifaceted as yam, and every day, we continue to find new ways to enjoy this precious gift of our culture.
