trozos de ñame


Explanation:
"Although some varieties of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) are also called yam in parts of the United States and Canada, it is not part of the family Dioscoreaceae...".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yam_(vegetable)


"El término ñame es el nombre de plantas con tubérculos comestibles del género Dioscorea, principalmente Dioscorea alata y Dioscorea esculenta".
http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ñame

""El ñame es un tubérculo utilizado desde hace siglos en la cocina de muchos países por sus propiedades nutricionales. Esta planta es originaria de climas cálidos como los que se pueden apreciar en Nueva Guinea, África o Asia entre otros. Aunque hoy se cultiva en otros lugares, el ñame es típico de estas culturas y de su cocina".
