Hello My Dearest Foodies,
When I bought these yams, I knew one was orange inside, but I wasn't sure about the other two. I was hoping for purple, because I was looking for one for a while, however, I did not expect to get one yellow. I actually didn't know until they were all baked and I cut them in half. It was quite a lovely surprise, because they looked so pretty side by side. I know you are wondering why I didn't take photo of them at that point, but the lighting in my kitchen is casting too much shadows and I am tired to deal with it, especially now with my achy hands, lol. And I didn't have my photoshoot lighting set up yet. Nevertheless, I still like the purple one the most especially in combination with the lime green color of the dressing and Edamame. Not to forget, the purple yam has quite different, but very tasty flavor and texture. Also, make sure you serve it with steamed, garlicky, baby spinach, topped with roasted pine nuts.
