How We Check Every Box of Yam Before Shipping
Not all yam is the same.
Some yam may look good on the outside but have soft spots, dryness, shrinkage, or damage inside the box.
That is why we inspect every box before it ships.
What We Look For
Before sending out a box, we check for:
- Soft spots
- Dry or shriveled yam
- Major cuts or damage
- Mold or bad spots
- Very small pieces that do not meet expectations
Our goal is to make sure customers receive yam that is fresh, clean, and worth the money.
Why This Matters
Many people buying African groceries online are spending a lot of money on shipping.
The last thing they want is to receive poor quality yam.
By checking each box before it leaves the store, we help reduce problems and create a better customer experience.
FAQ
Why does yam sometimes arrive with minor marks?
Because yam is a natural product, small marks on the skin are normal. What matters most is that the yam is still firm and fresh.
How long does yam last?
When stored in a cool, dry place, yam can last several weeks.
Can I refrigerate yam?
It is usually best to store yam in a cool, dry area instead of the refrigerator.
