Taro Chips

Taro Chips

Everyday

Taro chips are thin, crispy snacks made from sliced and fried or baked taro root, a starchy vegetable common in Asian and Pacific Island cuisines. These chips offer a distinctive purple-speckled appearance and a slightly nuttier, more complex flavor profile than traditional potato chips. While still a processed snack food, taro chips provide higher levels of fiber and potassium than potato chips, along with the unique antioxidants naturally present in taro root.
