Food Facts
Did you know just one cup of baked yams provides you with more than 21% of your daily recommended intake of dietary fiber, which helps your body rid itself of bile and the LDL ("bad") cholesterol it contains. Yams and sweet potatoes also contain beta-carotene, a carotenoid. Carotenoids are heart-protective antioxidants found in many colorful fruits and veggies, like carrots, bell peppers, and tomatoes.
