Elephant Yam

Elephant Yam – The Earthy Classic from Paati’s Kitchen

There’s something deeply comforting about the sight and smell of Elephant Yam sizzling in the pan — crispy karunai kizhangu varuval with its golden crust, or a rich, spicy yam kuzhambu that fills the home with inviting aromas. At myHarvest Farms, we bring you this timeless root, grown naturally and harvested with care, so you can relive those cherished moments of paati’s kitchen.

Known as Suran or Karunai Kizhangu, Elephant Yam wears a rough exterior but reveals a creamy, starchy heart that’s a canvas for bold spices and flavors. Our yams are nurtured through traditional, chemical-free farming methods and picked at perfect maturity, ensuring their dense texture and subtle, earthy sweetness stay intact—qualities rarely found in commercial produce.

Whether fried till crisp, simmered in tangy gravies, or mashed into wholesome dishes, Elephant Yam connects you to the heritage of South Indian cooking and offers nourishing goodness in every bite.

Celebrate the authentic taste of homegrown goodness—add this ancient root to your meals and enjoy a rich blend of health, flavor, and tradition.
