Precautions for consuming Chinese yam:
①After slicing Chinese yam, it needs to be soaked in saltwater immediately to prevent oxidation and blackening.
②Freshly cut Chinese yam produces a large amount of mucilage, which is very slippery and easy to hurt hands. It can be washed with water and a little vinegar to reduce the mucilage.
③After peeling Chinese yam, hands should be washed several times immediately to prevent skin allergies.
④Good Chinese yam should have intact skin, white and smooth cross-section, abundant mucilage, and less water content. Peeling the Chinese yam can also avoid abnormal tastes such as numbness or irritation.
