Taro is high in starch, which means it is also high in calories, with 107 calories in a 3½-ounce/100-gram serving. It is also a significant source of potassium and vitamin B₆ and carries a good dose of vitamin C, phosphorus, and iron. The starch granules in taro are easily digested, which makes it an ideal food for anyone who is gluten intolerant or has digestive problems.
