BY Ina Barton 2018-06-30Yams cannot be eaten raw. After being eaten raw, a lot of gas is produced in the abdomen, causing bloating and abdominal pain, and worsening indigestion. Yam is just the opposite of sweet potato. Although yam also contains a lot of starch, it also contains a lot of amylase and saccharification amylase in the mucus of its section. If eaten raw, it can not only digest its own starch, but also digest other starches taken at the same time. After eating, it feels particularly comfortable for the stomach.6
