About Taro balls

Taro Balls are a delightful Taiwanese dessert commonly found in traditional tea shops and dessert cafes. Made from steamed taro, sweet potato starch, and sometimes tapioca flour, these chewy and slightly sweet treats are known for their pastel hues and smooth texture. Originating from Taiwan, taro balls are often served in desserts alongside sweet soups, shaved ice, or grass jelly. Taro, the primary ingredient, is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, and antioxidants. It provides a natural source of energy and is gluten-free, making it accessible to individuals with dietary restrictions. However, they are typically high in carbohydrates and may be combined with sugary syrups, which can increase their calorie content. Moderation is key to enjoying taro balls as part of a balanced diet while savoring the unique taste and texture of this popular Asian delicacy.
