Purple Yam

This vivid purple yam is a tuber plant has a rough and dark colored exterior and a purple interior. It's requires proper cooking (like most wild yams) to detoxify the plant and make it edible, but other than that macabre bit of information, it tastes really good - fibrous and starchy texture, with a slightly sweet aftertaste. I'm told that people used to eat this to supplement their diet during the famine but personally, it tastes alright to me. :)
