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?

Ah.. my mom's favorite. It is called "Una" in my my place. This is the first thing my grandpa used to serve my Mom any time we land the village cos he knows my Mom doesn't joke with her Una".

It has this sweet bitter taste. I also started liking it because of my Mom.

This is sparogatively Ona
Ona with its bitter-sweet taste is a delight to the taste bud when it is cooked well.
This yam is a very heavy diet
