A medium sweet potato typically contains about 23 to 31 grams of carbohydrates, depending on size and preparation. For example:
- One medium raw sweet potato (about 114g) has approximately 23.6 grams of total carbs and 19.8 grams of net carbs (total carbs minus fiber)
- Another source states a medium sweet potato contains 24 grams of carbohydrates, including 3.7 grams of fiber and 7 grams of sugar
- A large sweet potato (about 180g) can have around 37 grams of carbohydrates, including 6 grams of fiber and 12 grams of sugar
- Smaller sweet potatoes (around 65g) contain about 12.8 grams of total carbs and 10.8 grams of net carbs
Overall, the carbohydrate content varies with size and preparation but ranges roughly from 12 to 37 grams per sweet potato, with fiber content between 2 to 6 grams. Sweet potatoes contain mostly complex carbs with some natural sugars
