Yam is a starchy tuber eaten as a vegetable. These figures describe yam that has been steamed. It mainly provides carbohydrate, with 28g per 100g, alongside 1.5g of protein and 0.3g of fat. It also contains potassium, at 370mg per 100g. The nutrient values are based on published sources and calculations from raw yam.
Carbohydrate is a source of energy for the body, while potassium supports normal nerve and muscle function. For people monitoring carbohydrate intake, starch contributes to the total carbohydrate content even when the sugar content is low. Steamed yam contains little saturated fat, although added ingredients can change this. Full nutrient figures are in the tables below.
