Share

This gratin is made from yam that has been baked in an oven and freeze-dried. Just pour hot water over it and in two minutes you can enjoy the taste of freshly made gratin. It has a creamy taste, combining piping hot yam with milk, butter and oligosaccharide from Tokachi, and salty bacon. Yam contains mucin, vitamin B1, and potassium, so this is a space food that supports good health.
