Why You should NOT add Sugar to Yam, Beans, Plantain and Potatoes while cooking…
❗❗PLEASE DO NOT ADD SUGAR TO THESE FOODS WHILE COOKING.
✅YAM
✅BEANS
✅POTATOES
✅PLANTAINS
❗❗THEY ARE HIGH CARB FOODS….MEANING THEYRE LOADED WITH NATURAL SUGARS ALREADY.
❗❗THE SUGARS IN BEANS ARE SO COMPLEX THEYRE CALLED OLIGOSACCHARIDES. THATS WHY YOU FEEL SO BLOATED AND THAT RUMBLING SOUND WHEN YOU EAT BEANS BECAUSE THE DIGESTIVE SYSTEM IS WORKING EVEN HARDER TO BREAK THESE SUGARS DOWN HENCE THE GAS.
❗❗YAM IS OVER 80% STARCH THOUGH HEALTHY STARCH BUT STILL THE END RESULT IS GLUCOSE. HIGH IN DIETARY FIBRE…THE TYPE OF CARB THAT PROVIDES SATIETY…WHY YOU FEEL SO FULL AFTER EATING JUST 2 TO 3 SLICES OF YAM. IT ALSO AIDS FATLOSS.
❗❗PLANTAIN IS ALSO A HIGH CARB FOOD…THOUGH THE SPECIAL TYPE OF STARCH CALLED ” RESISTANCE STARCH ” DEPENDING ON HOW RIPEN YOUR PLANTAIN IS BEFORE YOU EAT…THE GREENER THE PLANTAIN, THE MORE THE RESISTANCE STARCH AND THE LESS THE SUGAR WHY ITS A GOOD CHOICE FOR THOSE WITH TD2( TYPE 2 DIABETES) .
❗❗THE END PRODUCT OF THESE FOODS AFTER DIGESTION IS ” SUGAR”

ADDING OF SUGAR TO YAM
Do you know some people eat Sugar with yam? Yes some people do add #sugar when cooking their yam.
Is it good to put sugar in yam?
A little sugar is ok, not too much. The smaller the quantity of sugar, the better the taste. Both Sugar and salt can be added in one pot of boiled yams. The little salt helps give a toned down sweet taste of yam.
The essence of adding either sugar, salt or both, is to season the yam and achieve a sweet and sour balance similar to the asian sauce of that name. The way you season your yam is entirely up to you, you can use either salt, sugar or both.
