Taro is celebrated for its subtle sweetness and creamy texture, similar to a sweet potato, with delicate hints of vanilla. We’ve paired it with macadamia nuts for a melt-in-your-mouth, soft and buttery bite.
The lehua variety of taro used in The Taro Bar is celebrated for its subtle sweetness and creamy texture. It pairs perfectly with buttery macadamia nuts and coconut flakes, offering a balanced, lightly sweet flavor that’s as satisfying as it is unique.

Ingredients With Benefits
3 Ingredients From Hawai'i
Macadamia Nuts, Hamakua
Grown and processed with energy generated via solar and biomass energy, Hamakua produces nuts that are both sustainable and delicious.
Ponova™ Oil, Terviva
A sustainable, plant-based oil made from pongamia beans, a climate-resilient tree crop grown on O'ahu, which revitalizes the land where it’s grown.
Taro Root
Taro root is a starchy corm (underground stem) of the taro plant, a tropical plant native to Southeast Asia. It's commonly used as a root vegetable, particularly in Polynesian and Asian cuisines. While often called a root, it's technically an underground stem.
10% of Proceeds Given Back to Kupu
ALOHA is proud to support Kupu, Hawai’i’s leading youth-focused conservation non-profit. Kupu’s mission is to unlock the potential of youth through programing that gives back to the environment and their communities. Donations from your Kona bar purchase will support over a dozen free programs, ranging from education and service to work training and placement, all with environmental restoration a the core.
Taro is mildly sweet and creamy, a little like sweet potato with a note of vanilla behind it, and for most of our customers it's a uniquely satisfying bar. Macadamia nuts keep the texture soft and buttery. At 3g of sugar it is one of the least sweet bars we make, with 14g of plant-based protein and 10g of fiber.
What is in The Taro Bar?
The Taro Bar is made with lehua taro root, buttery macadamia nuts and flaky coconut, sourced from regenerative farms in Hawai'i. The protein is a blend of organic brown rice protein and pumpkin seed protein. Contains tree nuts (coconut and macadamias).
How much protein is in The Taro Bar?
One bar gives you 14g of plant-based protein, 10g of fiber and 3g of sugar, at 230 calories. Sold as a 6-count pack. The protein is entirely plant-based, and there are no sugar alcohol sweeteners and no stevia.
Do The Taro Bar contain sugar alcohol sweeteners or stevia?
Never. We are very deliberate about our food philosophy, and sugar alcohol sweeteners are not part of it: no erythritol, xylitol, maltitol or sorbitol, and no stevia, sucralose or aspartame either. Sweetness comes from organic cane sugar, tapioca syrup and fruit, with a touch of monk fruit in some flavors. Monk fruit is a fruit extract, not a sugar alcohol sweetener. Every full size bar has 5g of sugar or less.
Are The Taro Bar vegan and dairy free?
Yes. Every ALOHA bar is certified vegan and made without dairy. The protein is entirely plant-based, from brown rice and pumpkin seed, and the chocolate used across the range is dairy free. The bars are also soy free and Non-GMO Project Verified.
Are The Taro Bar gluten free?
Yes, and we hold a stricter line than the label requires. Every batch of finished product is third party tested for gluten to under 5ppm, where the Certified Gluten Free standard allows 20ppm. Bars are also soy free and Non-GMO Project Verified, and ALOHA is a Certified B Corporation. Certifications differ slightly by flavor, so the badges on this page are the ones that apply here.
What allergens do The Taro Bar contain?
Most ALOHA bars contain tree nuts, usually almonds, cashews, pecans, macadamias or coconut, and several contain peanuts. Nuts earn their place as a source of plant protein and healthy fats. Exact allergens differ by flavor, so check the ingredient list on this page. No ALOHA bar has dairy, soy or gluten in it. Bars are made in a facility that also processes fish, milk, peanuts, sesame, soy, tree nuts and wheat, with equipment cleaned and swabbed between every run.

Terrific Tropical Taste
I am a big fan of taro in general, and this protein bar does not disappoint! I love the creamy vanilla-ish flavor with the coconut and macadamia nuts. Glad I bought two boxes!

Not too sweet
I really enjoy the taro bars when I'm looking for something that is not too sweet or dessert-like. It has a pleasantly neutral taste that does not clash with other flavors. Honestly it's one of my favorite bars.
