Chinese Yam

Dried Chinese Yam Raw Tuber
Chinese Yam, also known as Shan Yao / Huai Shan, botanical name Dioscorea polystachya Turcz., is the dried tuber harvested from mature Dioscorea polystachya plants. It is widely traded botanical raw material within global food and botanical ingredient markets.
Our dried Chinese yam is sourced from cultivated planting regions in China. Fresh tubers go through cleaning, peeling, trimming, sorting and controlled natural drying. No solvent extraction, artificial colourants, flavour enhancers or preservatives are added during processing. The finished tuber shows off-white to pale yellow colour, cylindrical shape, firm and compact texture, with a faint mild starchy earthy aroma. Dioscin, starch and polysaccharides naturally exist within the tuber tissue.
