Since the child asks for it voluntarily, I certainly won't miss the opportunity to let the child learn. I immediately took out my mobile phone and found a photo of my dad going back to her family to dig yam at the beginning of the year. Then I told her roughly how long yam is and how long it is. Finally, Dabao and I agreed that when Grandpa celebrated the New Year, she must go to the field to see yam and watch Grandpa dig it. (PS: As a result, our mother and I just signed an agreement. Dabao wanted to video grandpa and said that he wanted to see him dig yam. What an anxious child ...)

In my impression, yam is basically planted every year at home, but it is not enough for me to eat. When the harvest is good, you can share it with neighbors and relatives. When the harvest is bad, it is enough to plug your teeth. Maybe it's because there is a kind of yam every year. My family likes yam very much. The most common way to eat is to steam it on the skin and cook it with yam. Until now, I still can't forget the bowl of yam soup cooked by my father and the pot of yam steamed by my mother.

Since Dabao began to add complementary food, yam is one of the ingredients that often appear on my family's complementary food list. From the original yam paste and yam rice paste to the direct yam soup and yam cooking, children are always happy.

Yam is a very common food, and you can find it as soon as you get to the vegetable market or the vegetable section of the supermarket. But don't look at it so ordinary, people are rich in nutrition. In particular, it is rich in mucin and amylase, which can strengthen the spleen and stomach and promote digestion. If you eat some regularly, the effect of regulating the spleen and stomach can be seen.

How to give children yam?

Recommend several simple and easy-to-use recipes for your reference:
