8 ounces
The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.
Sweet potato
A defined whole sweet-potato storage root 15 cm long and 250 g. Cultivar and growing conditions vary; the tapered root body is measured without fine roots, leaves or cut surfaces.
USDA FoodData Central — raw fruit portions
The marked defined whole-root mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.

Why these numbers?
The visual compares mass with defined whole-root mass. The records below preserve each value’s basis and caveats.

- Comparing
- Mass ↔ Defined whole-root mass
- Relative size
- Sweet potato is larger on this measurement by a factor of about 1.1. Sweet potato's selected measurement is approximately 10.2% greater than 8 ounces's.
How to read the visual
The labelled spans and stored measurements determine the scale; unmeasured illustration details do not.
- Sweet potato uses a 250 g central value within a recorded range of 150 g–450 g.
- Sweet potato is labelled defined specimen; treat the displayed value as a comparison anchor rather than false precision.
- The recorded ranges overlap, so the ordering can vary even though the central values differ.
