First you need strenght, before skill on how to pound,that is hitting it at the right place and when you start adding water. You can start pounding gently after the first 3-5minute.
I pound very well but pounded yam is my least favorite food.

Both, i'm one of the best pounded yam pounder in our town!

With 12years of exxperience in yam pounding and having encounter different kinds of yam palava when pounding, I will categorically tell you its 25%strength 75%skill. Merely accessing where the yam is from(is it isu abuja, aro,efuru etc) and looking when peeling the yam I can tell if the yam will be great for pounding. Or u want to add a bit of breadfruit to the not so good yam for pounding which is best done by boiling the yam without peeling it. It's best using ones skill to pound than committing to much energy into pounding. No matter the amount of strength committed to pounding some yams, it won't come out good as compared to pounding with skill.

If it is not pounded yam,it can never be like pounded yam.
The taste still defers but still a good alternative.

It's both strength and skill.
Strength for pounding and the skill to make sure it comes out smooth not with lumps. But there are some bad yams sha.

But for those that easily get tired,why don't u get the small mortal and pistle and sit on a stool while pounding.

It takes more skill than strenght. I am the official yam pounder in my family!

If you are here forming posh while the pestle undoubtedly recognises your fingerprint... *ur case dey heaven

Fire small alomo for body or sk before u begin pound am...u fit pound 5 hours u nor gor tire...

If you say skill,then it will depend on the kind of pistle you are using.
Most pistles are heavy,some are light.

See the lazy and weak generation.

What is so difficult in pounding yam?

If you are a teenager and can't pound yam, you are just weak and probably lazy.

An for those comparing poundo yam to real pounded yam, the difference is clear like night and day.

And this pounding process that everyone is complaining about is less than an hour if you know what you are doing.

Pounded yam is a good meal and the pounding process gives your body a little exercise while you are at it.

When growing up, we are all boys with just one girl (last born) and pounded yam is the standard meal for lunch on Sundays. All of us struggle to take part because we see it as a show of strength.

The moment you see it as work, you definitely won't like it.

its more of perseverance

ours is "pounded yam house" my dad being a typical tiv man n my mum though nt tiv is so fond of it dt she hardly eats oda forms of swallow...u nid d skill,strength n determination...am vry slim bt if I pound yam u go swear say no b me pound am,nt even a trace of tiny pieces of yam...nt difficult,its al abt mind set

With my experience in pounding, I can categorically say it's more of skills than strength. The hardest yam to pound I think is kokoyam. But if u have the skills, u can pound it without it having any seeds. Most yam requires skills to make it succulent and not strength. No matter how much strength u have, u most know how to place ur yam and how to turn the yam.

It is too tiring to pound yam especially some 'stubborn' yams.
If I bent on eating pounded yam, I will prepare the poundo flour
but thank God we are not pounded yam addicts .

Stånd: Lol...I am grateful that no one eats pounded yam in my house except the Ripe plantain version that we eat with pepper soup and fresh fish....

*****
How on earth do people stomach such heavy meal and some even eat it daily...It beats me.


***How to make Pounded yam( Plantain version).
Boil plantain....peel and pound..you can add little oil while pounding...
Serve hot with a sizzling bowl of Hot pepper soup plus delicious fresh fish....

This version is better than pounded yam made with yam...that ish is so heavy. The first time I went to a village and tasted pounded yam...I thought I was going to die...Choiiii....my stomach was so heavy and I called my mum to tell her I was dying....

Temburu?!

Are you riverine?!

cocoyam, if not well pounded, will have Lumps not seeds.
