The Most Poisonous food ever, i have ever eaten... If Nigerian doctors are wise or those into medicine... this tuber is best for hallucinations... After eating it undone with Palm oil... Trust me... You will experience Death for a period of time (hours depending on the quantity you consume). This is based on experience. After eating it, i was dead for some hours and after i woke up, i saw 4/5 people constantly praying on my head thinking i was dead... Pls Dont eat it undone... The experience is not good at all...

This is esuru, very soft and socculent specie of yam. I have in planted in my compound, infact I can't wait to harvest it next year

It is best enjoyed with palm oil with a sprinkle of salt.

I can't even stand the aroma/ scent/ odour (I want to say the truth with decorum)
Very bitter.
There is a myth that says it's food of the witches

Sweet yam.

I never liked it too. It was my Grandma's favorite those days...

The love I have for three leaf yam is unquantifiable...

It is called Esuru in some dialect ,I hate this nonsense yam until my mum made me to enjoy one.

According to a friend of mine from South, he claimed that once you give him Anem then half of his problems are solved..

I can dash you my phone for a portion of this because of it sweetness but it's been years I ate it.

I really miss home .
What do you call it in your dialect ? Do you enjoy eating it too?

That's fertility yam.
Very effective in treating hormonal imbalance and good for women TTC.
If you are seeking to have twins this yam is very useful. We have used it for lots of women with excellent results.
The fresh leaves is part of the ingredients for treating acute pile for adults and kids.
Respect that yam you see there.
