Nigerians Have The Highest Rate of Twins — Yams May Be Reason Why
Did you know Nigerians have the highest rates of twins in the world? And studies have shown that white yams may play a role in the fertility of twins in southwestern region. It is also culturally accepted that beans, bitter leaf, and yams have a link to fertility as well!
In Yoruba culture twins (ibejí) are so common that they are automatically named either Taiwo or Kehinde, symbolizing the first and second born.
Happy National Twin Day!
