100% Natural Ube Purple Yam Powder Bulk Water Soluble Purple Yam Root Powder

Ube (pronounced "OO-beh") is a species of purple yam (Dioscorea alata) native to the Philippines. It is a staple ingredient in Filipino cuisine, renowned for its vibrant violet color, slightly sweet, nutty flavor, and versatile uses in desserts.

Ube powder is made by cooking, pureeing, drying, and then finely grinding the ube yam into a concentrated powder. This process preserves the yam's signature color and flavor, making it a shelf-stable and convenient alternative to fresh ube, which can be difficult to find outside of Southeast Asia.
