Can one eat raw yams?
Answers:
Absolutely! I eat them raw all the time. Most vegetables can be eaten raw...peas, green beans, corn, carrots, asparagus, etc.
a yam is a root like a potato. yes you can eat them raw . but they probably aren't very tasty.
Sure, but why would you want to
Yeah, I don't see how eating raw veggies would be a problem.
I don't think that would be a good idea. I'm sure part of the reason for cooking them is to some how soften them up and make them easier for digestion and to cook out raw particles that could harm you when eaten. So no no, I don't think one can eat raw yams without suffering some negative consequences.
you can eat them just like carrot sticks plain or with dip
I don't know about yams, but NEVER try this with taro! Taro has millions of sharp crystals that will shred your gums if you eat it raw, but when cooked the crystals are no longer there.
