Because of its rich nutrition, yam has been regarded as a good inexpensive tonic since ancient times. It can be used as a staple food, a vegetable, and can also be made into snacks such as candied haws.

In my country, it is mainly produced in Bo'ai, Qinyang, Wuzhi, Wenxian and other places in Henan Province, and is also cultivated in Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, Central South and Southwest regions. Dig it up in winter after the stems and leaves wither, cut off the root head, wash and dry.

The yams cultivated in China mainly include two categories: common yam and sweet potato. The tubers of ordinary yam are relatively small, among which the most famous are the "foot potato" from Sichuan and other places, the Huai yam from Huai County, Shanxi, and the Huai yam from Nancheng, Jianghan.
