To heat, you can place the contents of the can in a saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally until warmed through. Alternatively, they can be microwaved in a microwave-safe dish for a minute or two. For a baked preparation, drain the yams and place them in a baking dish, perhaps with a little butter or brown sugar, and bake until tender. They can also be mashed or pureed for various culinary applications.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to fresh sweet potatoes, these are already cooked and softened, saving significant preparation time. The light syrup offers a subtle sweetness that is different from the natural sweetness of fresh yams, and it also affects the final texture, making them softer and more uniform.
