Carbohydrate provides energy for the body, while potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function. The carbohydrate content is worth noting for people monitoring their carbohydrate intake. Baked yam contains little salt or saturated fat, although adding salt, butter or other ingredients during preparation changes its nutritional content.
