Ube Powder is a dehydrated form of 100% pure Ube (Dioscorea alata), the beloved purple yam of Filipino cuisine. Naturally sweet with hints of vanilla and pistachio, ube adds authentic flavor and a beautiful violet hue to baked goods, smoothies, lattes, and desserts. Made with just one ingredient, real ube. No artificial colors, no flavorings, and no purple sweet potato fillers. Its rich purple color comes naturally from antioxidant-rich anthocyanins. Perfect for baking, blending, and creating your favorite ube recipes.
