I would venture to guess there are some calories in them, but probably not much. My question would be, what are they calling a serving size? If you have more then a serving you are most certainly eating some calories.
All of the brands I've seen that are just made with the yam (no tofu) are 5 cals a serving. It's possible that the brand you had was 1. either subtracting the fiber or 2. has a smaller serving size.
I have heard that it was a type of yam from Japan, so thank you for confirming. Originally Posted by zenor77

The one that I had was in a pouch and it was one serving, it was about a cup.
