Sweet potato is a starchy root vegetable; the figures here describe it baked. It mainly provides carbohydrate, alongside fibre and several vitamins and minerals. Per 100g, baked sweet potato contains 28g of carbohydrate, including 15g of sugars, and 5.2g of fibre. It also provides 855µg of vitamin A, expressed as retinol equivalent.
Carbohydrate provides energy, while fibre supports normal bowel function. Vitamin A contributes to normal vision and immune function. For people monitoring carbohydrate or sugar intake, the sugars form part of the total carbohydrate content rather than being additional to it. Full nutrient figures are provided in the tables below.
