What kind of food is this?
Per 100g: 126 kcal and 31.9g of carbohydrate — about four times the average of the vegetables in our database — with 2.2g of fiber.
Fiber contributes to stool bulk and the gut environment. At the same time, sweet potato carries far more energy than leafy greens.
Rather than "a vegetable, so it must be light," its role is clearer when you see it as a food that adds fiber while contributing solid energy from carbohydrate.
How to serve
Cook thoroughly before use.
About calories (in a little more detail)
100 g of sweet potato has more calories than 100 g of skinless chicken breast. Being a vegetable does not necessarily make it light. When you add it as a treat or a topper, counting it toward the day's total calories makes it easier to balance with weight management. The app can also help you work backward from the daily calorie target.
