What is Yam Flour?
Yam Flour (Elubo) is a finely processed powder made from peeled, sliced, parboiled, dried, and milled white yam (Dioscorea rotundata). It is a staple ingredient used in preparing Amala, a popular swallow meal served with traditional soups.
Highly favored in homes, African restaurants, and cultural markets around the world, Elubo is valued for its easy preparation, rich texture, and ability to serve as a gluten-free carbohydrate option.
At Mountaintop Worldwide Export Limited, we produce and export high-quality yam flour that meets international food safety standards — hygienically processed, stone-free, and packed for long shelf life.
