Does the mucus of yam need to be cleaned? No.
The mucus in yam and okra is actually the essence of nutrition, which is collectively called plant gum, that is, soluble dietary fiber, also known as plant polysaccharide. These soluble fibers are soluble in water and can absorb water and swell, so they have strong viscosity, and the greater the viscosity, the higher the content.
These mucilages exist in plant cell sap and intercellular substance, mainly including pectin, plant gum and mucilage. Different plants are rich in mucus, and their nutritional components are also different. Therefore, when you eat yam in the future, don't dislike the long silk pulled out. Eating it is the right choice.
