About Candy yam
Candy Yam, often considered a Southern comfort food, is a sweet dish typically made by baking or simmering sweet potatoes with sugar, butter, and warm spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg. Originating from African American culinary traditions, it is a staple in holiday feasts and soul food cuisine. Sweet potatoes, the star ingredient in Candy Yam, are rich in dietary fiber, vitamins A and C, and antioxidants, promoting eye health and immune function. However, the added sugar and butter in Candy Yam elevate its calorie and fat content, making it a more indulgent option rather than a health-focused dish. Enjoyed in moderation, it provides a satisfying mix of natural sweetness and nostalgic flavor.
