Varietal Characteristics:
- Yam Bean (Pachyrhizus erosus) is an annual or perennial herbaceous vine belonging to the genus Pachyrhizus in the Fabaceae family. Its tuberous roots are distinctively shaped, typically oblate or conical, with light yellow to brownish skin and a slightly rough texture. The flesh is jade-white, crisp, and exceptionally juicy, offering a naturally sweet, fiber-free taste. Rich in water, sugars, and protein, it provides excellent hydration and cooling relief in hot weather. It can be consumed fresh as a fruit, served in salads, or cooked in soups. Additionally, yam bean possesses medicinal properties—cooling in nature and sweet in flavor—making it effective in alleviating heat-related discomforts such as sore throat and dry mouth.
- Yam bean thrives in hot, low-rainfall climates, exhibiting strong drought tolerance but low cold resistance. It demands well-drained, deep, and loose sandy loam soil; heavy or poorly aerated soils hinder its growth. Despite its soil preferences, the plant demonstrates notable adaptability, high pest/disease resistance, and consistent yields.
WARNING: The seeds, stems, and leaves contain toxic compounds and must not be consumed. Accidental ingestion may lead to poisoning, posing severe health risks.
