~40 lbs Jumbo Yam aka Sweet Potatoes, Fan-Shu, Di-Gua, Hong-Shu, Gan-Shu, Tian-Shu, 蕃薯, 地瓜, 红薯, 甘薯, 甜薯, 紅薯 Jumbo yam is a root vegetable with a cylindrical shape, brownish-red or brownish-orange skin, and orange flesh. When cooked, jumbo yam has a mild, starchy, sweet flavor. When baked or boiled, the flesh becomes soft and slightly stringy. Jumbo yam is great for baking, mashing, and frying. Jumbo yam is available year-round. Handling Tip Selection Jumbo yam is firm with no soft spots. The skin is fairly smooth with no signs of sprouts or blemishes. Storage Jumbo yam should be stored at 55°F - 59°F (13°C - 15°C) with a relative humidity of ninety percent and no mist. The typical shelf life is one to three months, though extended storage decreases sensory quality. High temperature leads to sprouting or a pithy texture. Jumbo yam is sensitive to ethylene, a naturally occurring gas that regulates ripening. Jumbo yams should not be stored with high ethylene-producing products to extend shelf life and avoid discoloration and off-flavor development. Jumbo yam produces a low level of ethylene. Ethylene production increase drastically after chilling, wounding, and decay development. Jumbo yam is sensitive to chilling injury at storage below 55°F (13°C). Symptoms include root shriveling, surface pitting, flesh browning, and hardcore formation (flesh is hard after cooking/processing). The freezing point for jumbo yam is 28.6°F (-1.9°C).
