Experience the naturally sweet and creamy taste of Organic Jewel Yams, a beloved variety of sweet potato that brings vibrant color and rich flavor to your kitchen table.
Jewel yams are actually a type of sweet potato distinguished by their copper-colored skin and bright orange flesh. These organic tubers offer a moist, tender texture when cooked and deliver a naturally sweet, earthy flavor with subtle hints of vanilla and spice. Unlike traditional white potatoes, jewel yams become beautifully caramelized when roasted or baked, making them a favorite for both everyday meals and holiday celebrations. This variety is deeply rooted in Southern American cuisine and soul food traditions, where they're often featured in classic dishes like candied yams, sweet potato pie, and savory casseroles.
These versatile vegetables excel in both sweet and savory applications. Try roasting them with olive oil and herbs for a simple side dish, mashing them with butter and cinnamon for a comforting accompaniment to roasted meats, or incorporating them into soups and stews for natural sweetness and body. Jewel yams also shine in baked goods like muffins, breads, and their signature sweet potato pie. For best results, pierce the skin before baking whole at 400°F for 45-60 minutes, or cube them for faster cooking in stir-fries and grain bowls. Their natural sweetness pairs beautifully with warm spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger, as well as savory herbs like rosemary and thyme.
