The Mexican wild yam (Dioscorea villosa) is a tropical climbing plant with heart-shaped leaves, tiny green flowers and a thick, fleshy rhizome. It can grow up to 6m high. The wild yam is mainly cultivated in West and Central Africa, Haiti and Colombia. The yam needs plenty of sun and fertile soil in order to grow. The wild yam is particularly interesting due to its remarkable content of diosgenin, a substance which, like sex hormones, is a steroid. The root is particularly appreciated by women due to its ingredients.
