Sourced from the unspoiled forests of Medog in Nyingchi, Tibet, these wild yams (Dioscorea spp.) grow naturally at elevations of ~800–2000m in sandy, humus-rich soil with no industrial or livestock pollution. Our team personally harvests and selects each batch directly from the origin.
Key features:
-
Authentic wild origin: Purely wild, perennial vine-type yam with rich powdery texture and deep-rooted growth, often shaped by mountain stones.
-
Careful processing: Hand-peeled, washed immediately after harvest, sliced and low-temperature dried the same day to minimize oxidation and nutrient loss.
-
Two product forms: Dried slices (suitable for soups, long-simmered dishes) and fine powder (instant porridge, baking ingredient, baby food additive).
-
Sustainability & traceability: Local villagers collect and sell at designated buying points; our harvest practices emphasize sustainable sourcing and pit backfilling.
-
Versatile uses: Dried slices can be simmered directly (extend cooking time if unsoaked); powder mixes into beverages, replaces part of flour in baking to add fiber and a unique aroma.
Production window: harvest & processing best between January–April. Shelf life: 365 days (cold storage recommended).

❓ Q&A (Frequently Asked Questions)
Q1: Is this yam really wild?
Yes. All yams come from the wild forests of Medog, Nyingchi, Tibet, collected by local villagers and processed the same day.
Q2: What is the difference between dried slices and powder?
-
Dried slices: best for soup, porridge, slow cooking
-
Powder: can be mixed with warm water, used in baking, or added to baby food
Q3: Why do the slice shapes look irregular?
Wild yams grow around stones and tree roots, forming natural, uneven shapes — a key sign of genuine wild origin.
Q4: Do I need to soak the dried slices?
Not necessary, but soaking can shorten cooking time.
Unsoaked slices require longer simmering.
Q5: How should I store it?
Keep refrigerated or in a cool, dry place. Shelf life is 365 days.
Q6: Will the color darken?
Our low-temperature drying process minimizes oxidation, keeping the slices milky white.
Minor natural color variation is normal.
