Density 51 · +7 vs Snacks medianTaro chips score 51 of 100, a Fair rating that ranks a respectable 18th of 60 in the snacks category, driven by vitamin E at 75% DV, dietary fiber at 26% DV, and magnesium at 20% DV, all excellent tiers, plus potassium at a good 16% DV.
Sliced from taro root and fried like potato chips, they work best as an occasional snack rather than an everyday side, with an ounce (28 g) delivering a calorie-dense 498 calories per 100 g. Saturated fat is the caveat, flagged high at 6.4 g per 100 g, so portion control still matters even with the stronger fiber and mineral numbers.
