Yams are edible tubers that offer many health benefits and nutritious value and they are widely used in Sri Lanka as a favourite carbohydrate. A starchy diet filled with the nutrition that you need, Hingurala is a traditional yam variety that is mostly used in Ayurvedic practices and traditional medicines. You can boil and consume the yams.
The Hingurala Yam has been used especially in treatment for pregnant mothers who have various fertility issues. It is believed that this particular Hingurala Yam has the potential to strengthen the walls of the uterus as well as the foetus that is growing inside the womb. Foraged from their wild habitats, the Hingurala Yams are an excellent source of fibre, potassium and manganese and various micro nutrients such as vitamin c and copper.
