“A 400-plus year staple of Filipino cuisine, ube [oo-bay] is a violet-colored yam 🍠 boasting rich flavors and even richer potential!

Warm notes of chai and almond help ube pair perfectly with many classic Asian sweets—from buns to bubble tea 🧋, cakes 🥮, and more.

Popular across Southeast Asia, ube burst onto the American culinary scene in the 2010’s; today, this tuber is sensational, a beautiful bridge between Filipino history and contemporary cuisine! 💜”
