The 1KG Taro format is primarily available in two forms: Fresh Root (corms) used in traditional cooking, and Taro Powder Mix, which is the commercial standard for bubble tea shops and bakeries. Both are prized for their unique sweet, nutty flavor—often described as a blend of vanilla and sweet potato.
- Appearance: A finely milled powder that creates a signature vibrant purple or pastel lavender color in drinks.
- Flavor Profile: Creamy and sweet with distinct cookie-like and nutty undertones.

- Yield: One 1KG bag generally produces approximately 33 to 35 servings (using ~30g per drink).
- Beverages: Used for Taro Milk Tea, smoothies, lattes, and frappes.
