Description
Cocoyam is an edible root crop that belongs to the family Araceae. It is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions, especially in Africa, Asia, and the Pacific Islands. Cocoyam is grown mainly for its starchy corms and cormels, which serve as an important source of food and energy. The leaves are also edible and are used in many traditional dishes, being rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber.
The corm of cocoyam has a brown, rough outer skin with a whitish, cream, or sometimes pinkish flesh inside. When cooked, it has a soft texture and a slightly nutty taste. Cocoyam is highly nutritious, providing carbohydrates for energy, dietary fiber for good digestion, and essential nutrients such as potassium, calcium, phosphorus, and vitamins A and C.
It is a versatile crop that can be boiled, roasted, pounded, or ground into flour, and its leaves are commonly used to prepare vegetable soups and sauces. Besides food, cocoyam plays an economic role by serving as a cash crop for many farming households.
