please help.

I bought some yams last week here.

they look fresh and very expensive.

only for me to check them today. and find some are getting rotten. do you believe I wasted half of the yam when cutting off the spoilt parts.

how do o store them. especially the once I already peeled off.

can it be stored on freezer?

Turn them into Yam flour and make twice the profit

Method
Cut ones you suspected are getting rotten or the ones getting rotten.

Peel them and slice them into thick chips.

Boil a water that can actually cover the whole pieces and pour the pieces into the water.

Leave for 24hours.

Remove them the second day and spread in sun. Will take 2-3 weeks for complete dryness due to the present humidity.

Store in dry bags or mill them to powder for yam flour.

Dash them out and God will bless you...

There is nothing u can do about it.
Buying dry yam this season is a game of luck.

Yes, U can store your yam in the freezer. So also ripe plantains.
Cut and wash as U will wanna cook them. Lay on flat surface e.g. tray and put in your freezer. Make sure non overlaps the other. When they block, put in Ziploc and that's it
If u want to fry or cook any, bring out and put inside hot oil or water immediately. Don't allow it to defrost.
The same with ripe plantain.

Yes it can be stored in the freezer. That is what I do when I buy yam. Peel them cut into the sizes like when you are ready to cook. Wash thoroughly and pack in bags and freeze When you want to cook, no need to defrost it just drop it in water and cook like normal.

how many did you buy

I bought over thirty tubers of yam during this lockdown. To preserve them. Place planks of wood on a well ventilated area and place them on top of each other on the wood. The bigger ones under. Do no allow them to touch bare floor. If you cannot finish a tuber at once,put a little water in a bowl and put the yam inside to avoid rot.

they where in the kitchen ontop of tiles. the kitchen is a bit hot and not so ventilated. I can't put them anywhere else or outside.

this is the most effective

Do not keep it on tiles or bare floor. That's actually why those yam are rotten away.

Find a wide plank and set them on top in layers or let me come get rid of em.

You can rightfully process them into yam flour as someone said up there. No go waste food oo.

A very wrong place to keep your food item. It is very wrong to put food on the bare floor. Get a small pallet inside your kitchen where you will be placing your food item.

Share the yams for now.

storing yam in the freezer is not what it claimed it is. i think it would have been better to store cook yam and not uncook yam.

I even thinking of throwing away the rest them them in there.

brought our plenty of them yesterday in other to clear it out as soon as possible. I boiled them right away. I put them in mortar and pound. but to my surprise. the yams lost all it starch. it was not holding to itself just exactly like a early new yam.

I had to go buy 5kg bag each of semo and wheat.

Hnmmmm

Yes you can put it inside freezer and make sure that you have a very stable light if not it will all get worse

And ensure you cut in your desired size so that you can start cooking it as soon as you bring it out from the freezer

If you have constant light, boil the peeled ones and refrigerate

Then for the other ones, pls dash few out to the less privileged

Any time from March / April, you don't store yam because the water in it have dried up and can't survive the weather

Just buy one or two tubbers of yam till July/ August when the new ones will be out
