Great question Andrea! They are in fact different. Taro and ube both have a slightly sweet and nutty flavor, but they have different tastes and textures. Taro has a more earthy and starchy taste, with a texture that can be described as creamy and slightly fibrous. Ube, on the other hand, has a more distinct and sweeter taste, with a texture that is smooth and almost velvety.
