Ube is Dioscorea alata — a purple yam loved across Asia for its warm, nutty, faintly vanilla character and its unreal natural colour. We mill it fine and seal it fresh. No fillers, no flavourings, no added colour. What you see is what the yam gives.
Spoon it into a latte, fold it through batter, or blend it into a smoothie. It brings a deep violet and a creamy, earthy flavour to almost anything.
100% purple yam powder. Check the label — that's the entire ingredient list.
The deep purple comes straight from the yam. Nothing added to brighten it.
Sourced as Dioscorea alata, milled to a fine, easy-to-whisk powder.
