Cush-Cush Yam
The cush-cush tubers themselves are also called “yams”, having numerous cultivars and related species.
Cush-Cush Yam is the common name for some plant species in the genus Dioscorea that form edible tubers.
The edible tuber has a rough dark brown skin difficult to peel, but softens after heating. The majority of the vegetable is composed of a much softer white substance known as the “meat”.
