That depends on how big the Yams are. Work it out at about 6 ozs of Yam per person.
Hamdani, invented yams. And it was for eating. :DD
The true yam contains about 20% starch.
There are about 114 calories in 1 cup of candied yams.
To serve 10 people, you typically need about 1/2 cup of yams per person. Therefore, if each can of yams contains approximately 2 servings (around 2 cups total), you would need about 3 cans to ensure everyone gets enough. Adjust based on your guests' appetites or if yams are a main dish.
Okonkwo's number of Yams vary. In his first year, he has at least 1600 seed Yams, including 800 of them from Nwakibie and 400 from another friend. It is not specifically mentioned, but the number of Yams are thought to be in the thousands, perhaps tens of thousands later on.
Yams were seen as the main farming crop and meal staple of people in Things Fall Apart. Yams took a lot of effort to farm, but was the main way of sustaining a good life. Yams were celebrated, as was the Goddess of the Earth.
Yams are one of the if not THE most important sources of carbohydrates for a large portion of the people in sub-Saharan Africa.
