Yellow Yams

Hi folks,

I am trying to find out the nutritional information on yellow yams. I can't seem to find that information anywhere. It's much starchier than a regular potato but less sweet than a sweet potato.

Not sure how to calculate it. I'd appreciate it if anyone could help.

Here's what it looks like:

Thank you, I saw this too but I don't think they are the same.
The one I ate is called a "jamaican yam" but it's not the proper name for it. I found something on-line but it wasn't really clear. It said something like 360cals per 100g.. I think.
I'd much rather use your data so I can eat more of it! :flowerforyou:
