Just went to do some research on it and found out it is also called mirliton, something I have had many times in New Orleans (but never cooked myself).

Here is what I found out about it's nutritional content:

Nutritional value per 100 g (3.5 oz)
Energy 80 kJ (19 kcal)
Carbohydrates 4.51 g
- Sugars 1.66 g
- Dietary fiber 1.7 g
Fat 0.13 g
Protein 0.82 g

Would that make it a starch?
