Pounded Yam or Poundo Yam is traditionally prepared by boiling yams in a pot and once cooked; it is placed in a mortar and beaten into smooth textured dough with pestle.

Pact Mate's Poundo Yam is smooth, dried powder of mashed yam, which involves the process of sun or machine drying. It is often eaten with vegetable soups or stews. It is much like mashed potatoes, but smoother, heavier and tastier. It is a very popular African food, especially in the middle belt, eastern and southern Nigeria, Ghana, Ivory Coast (Cote d'Ivoire), Benin and some parts of West Africa.

All you need to do is sprinkle the powder into a pot of boiling water and stir the mixture until you obtain your desired texture, then you allow this to cook for a few minutes.
