Can Chinese yam root be eaten raw?
No, Chinese yam root should not be eaten raw. Although it is safe to eat raw, the root contains a bitter substance called dioscorin, which reduces its palatability and makes it difficult to digest. Additionally, the raw root also has a high water content, which can cause bloating and discomfort when eaten in large quantities.
