Common yam
To sum up: iron stick yam has high nutritional value and good taste!
Ordinary yam looks good, but its nutritional value and taste are slightly inferior.
Everyone must look for it. Buying iron stick yam and its processed dried yam and yam powder will be healthier and more nutritious! Not to mention Tieshan medicine and common yam are the same thing. Yam not only has the effect of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, but also can effectively delay aging.
As a matter of fact, China ancient health experts have always had a soft spot for Chinese yam. As early as Shennong's Classic of Materia Medica, yam was listed as a top-grade medicinal material, which is considered to have the effects of "replenishing deficiency, keeping your eyes and ears sharp after taking it for a long time, strengthening your body and not being hungry, and prolonging your life". Iron stick yam has the characteristics of sweet taste, invigorating spleen and lung, stomach and kidney, benefiting essence and quenching thirst.
Dried yam slices
Iron stick yam not only has the advantages of ordinary yam, but also contains more nutrients than ordinary yam. Because its powder is full, greasy and very strong, it can't be boiled in water for a long time, and its two hands collide, clanging and not easily broken, so it is named "iron stick yam". Usage: It can be used for cooking porridge, stewing meat, making soup and chafing dish. However, many criminals pretend to be iron yam with ordinary vegetable yam, so when buying iron yam, we must know how to distinguish the authenticity of iron yam.
