Several decades ago when orange flesh sweet potatoes were introduced in the southern United States, producers and shippers desired to distinguish them from the more traditional white flesh types.  The African word “nyami”, referring to the starchy, edible root of the Dioscorea genus of plants was adopted in its English form, “yam”.  Yams in the United States are actually sweet potatoes with relatively moist texture and orange flesh.  The terms are generally used interchangeably.     What makes Garber Farms Creole Rose Rice aromatic? The aroma of Creole Rose Rice is a 100% natural characteristic derived from an Indian Basmati rice parentage.  By crossing a basmati rice with an extra long grain American rice, we are truly able to offer you the best of both worlds in Creole Rose.  Creole Rose Aromatic Rice has a delicate popcorn-like aroma and pleasant nutty (full bodied) flavor which has been a favorite secret for many local Cajun chefs.     Nutritive value One medium sized Yam provides: ·        Three or four times the recommended daily allowance for Carotene or Vitamin A value ·        About 1/3 of the daily Vitamin C allowance if cooked in skins ·        Iron, Thiamine and Calcium ·        140 Calories per 6oz Yam ·        Low sodium content (only 12mg per baked potato) ·        Sweet Potatoes ranked “Number One” vegetable for nutrition by the Center for Science in the Public Interest!   One half cup serving of cooked Creole Rose Rice provides: ·        Only 82 calories ·        2 grams of Protein ·        19 grams of Carbohydrates ·        And Zero grams of Fat ·        Sodium and Cholesterol Free!!   Preparation suggestions for louisiana’s garber farms Cajun creole yams   ·       Allow one medium potato per serving ·       Wash immediately before cooking ·       Do not puncture skin when baking (rub a little butter or margarine on potatoes to soften skin) ·       Bake unwrapped in open pan ·       Baked potatoes freeze well wrapped in foil and are easy to reheat, especially in a microwave oven   To store Cajun Creole yams ·       Do not refrigerate fresh yams ·       Allow for air circulation (dampness causes spoilage) ·       Avoid storing directly on concrete   Creole Rose Rice Basic Recipe ·       Measure 1&1/2 to 1&5/8 cups of water 1/2 tsp. salt (optional) and 1 Tbsp butter (also optional) into a 2-3 quart saucepan. ·       Stir in 1 cup of Creole Rose Rice, bring to a boil.  Lower heat and cover.  Simmer for 15 to 20 minutes or until rice is tender and water is absorbed. ·       Remove from heat.  Fluff Creole Rose Rice with a fork, replace lid and allow rice to steam for a few minutes.  Makes 4 one cup servings.
