Indian Purple Yam known as Kand or Kandh in Hindi and Konfal in Marathi is a root vegetable that’s popularly known as Indian cheese. This tuber belongs to the large family of Yams and is often confused with sweet potato or Shakarkand which are distantly related to the potato family.

It is a seasonal veggie , has a unique texture, a bright purple color, and is sweet to taste.

Eating purple yams has many health benefits. Purple yams range from bright purple to dark purple. They are a good source of protein, vitamin C, and beta carotene. Purple yams have a positive impact on your overall well-being. Purple yams are also rich in anthocyanins.‌

One of the biggest health benefits of purple yams is their high level of anthocyanins. They are purple-colored water-soluble pigments. Anthocyanins are also found in berries, grapes, and some tropical fruits. Red to purplish-blue foods such as leafy vegetables, grains, roots, and tubers are also rich in anthocyanins.
