wild yam root

Wild yam is a climbing vine that is native to Central and North America and some parts of Asia. Although the heart-shaped leaves have a vanilla scent, it is the bitter root that is targeted for harvest. In contrast to other yams, however, wild yam has a non-edible, fibrous and knotted rhizome that is dried instead.

Native Americans boiled wild yam root to produce a tonic.
