DID U KNOW THAT...Cocoyam's richness in B6 makes it good for controlling high blood pressure and protects the heart. Cocoyam contains some dietary fiber, which helps in regulating bowel health, lowering cholesterol levels and controlling blood sugar levels.

DID U KNOW THAT...Cocoyam possesses high nutritional values when compared with others like cassava and yam, with substantial vitamins, minerals and proteinous contents.

As a relatively known staple crop in the underdeveloped and developing countries, it can serve as a weaning food and its own leaves are sometimes used as vegetable for cooking.

It is an aroid because it is grown mainly for its edible corms; however their leaves can also be used for both medicinal and culinary purposes.

DID U ALSO KNOW THAT...Cocoyam has more calories than potatoes. 100 g provides 112 calories. Its calories mainly come from complex carbohydrates known as amylose and amylopectin. However, the roots are very low in fats and protein than in cereals and pulses. Their protein levels can be comparable to that of other tropical food sources like yam, cassava, potato, banana, etc.

Cocoyam, however, are free from gluten. They feature high-quality phyto-nutrition profile comprising of dietary fibre, and antioxidants in addition to moderate proportions of minerals, and vitamins.
