There is a difference between yam and Chinese yam, in fact, the taste is almost the same, the nutritional value will be different, yam is just a kind of food. The Chinese yam is not only food, but also a kind of herbal medicine, so the nutritional value is higher than the price of yam is also more expensive than yam. Huai Shan has high nutritional value, nourishing the body stronger role, through some ways can easily distinguish between Huai Shan and yam.

First of all, from the appearance of the watch found that the yam is generally the head is thicker, and the lower part is more thin, and the skin of the yam is very smooth, there is no rust like spots. Then learn about the Chinese yam, it is thicker, but overall looks uniform, and the epidermis color will be a little darker than the yam, the top of the pit is particularly more, there are rust-like spots, this kind of thing is able to be washed off, but it does not look as beautiful as the yam looks.

Besides from the appearance, but also through the weight to differentiate found that many yams are artificially grown, so the water content is more, this moisture is more abundant. But Huaishan is not the same, the texture is very hard, this kind of food is particularly not easy to break, pad in the hand, like taking a stone, the weight is also heavier than the yam. After breaking the yam, you will find that it can turn yellow, but the skin will become smoother, and through simple brushing, the yam can be cleaned very well. But the Chinese yam is not the same, especially not easy to be broken, and the texture is very hard.

After cutting it, you will find that it is milky white, and it will not change color when put in the air, and it is not easy to be oxidized for a long time, and it is milky white, and you can only wash off the mucus by using water, and the mucus is more and more difficult to be cleaned. Cook these two kinds of food time is also different, if you want to cook the yam, generally half an hour will be able to cook the yam more rotten, but Huaishan because of its own water content is very little, and sugar is more, inside the juice is thicker. General cooking about 7 minutes to be able to taste better, the longer the cooking time will affect the taste.
