How To Store Cut Yam So It Doesn’t Grow Moulds

So how can you store your cut yam?

Here are some of the tips I have used and others that I got from people I spoke to;

Tip Number 1: One of our respondents, supported by some others said “I cut the quantity of yam I need and just put the rest back in the fridge”. I think this makes sense because these organisms need elevated temperature to grow, therefore storing them at low temperature like that in the refrigerator inhibits their growth.

Tip Number 2: “Cut the piece you need and immediately put the other end in a small bowl with 2 centimeters water.” I tried this before and it worked, but I did not store it for more than two days. If you have ever tried it for a longer period, let us know. This probably prevents the exposed part from atmospheric oxygen, which aids the growth of the spoilage organisms.
