Ube powder, 100 grams

Ube (pronounced oo-beh) is a purple yam from the Philippines. It has been used in desserts, ice cream, and drinks there for generations. Through coffee bars in Asia and America, ube is now also the purple trend in the Netherlands.

Soft, lightly sweet and nutty, with a vanilla-like finish. It has a subtle, creamy flavor that works well in drinks and desserts.

No. Ube is a root vegetable and contains no caffeine. You can drink an ube latte just as easily at 9:00 p.m. as at 9:00 a.m. Still want a boost? Add a shot of espresso.

No, they are three different tubers. Ube is a deeper purple, creamier, and has a vanilla-like flavor that you won't find in taro or purple sweet potato.

Matcha is powdered green tea: grassy, slightly bitter and contains caffeine. Ube is a root: sweet, mild and caffeine-free. Many people drink matcha in the morning and ube in the afternoon or evening. Or both in one glass: ube on the bottom, topped with matcha cold foam.

The purple color comes naturally from the root, thanks to plant compounds called anthocyanins. We do not add any coloring. That is why it retains its beautiful purple color even after baking.

Ube is a root vegetable, similar to a sweet potato. A 2.5-gram serving of powder contains fewer than 10 kcal, so the calories in your latte come mainly from your milk and any sweeteners. We sell ube for its flavor, not for any health claims. You can read more background in our article about ube.

Absolutely. Customers use it to make cookies, cheesecake, pancakes, ice cream, and overnight oats. Start with 1 to 2 tablespoons per recipe and add more for a deeper purple color. You can find inspiration in our ube recipes.

Syrups, extracts and cookies mainly provide ube flavor through flavoring and sugar, sometimes with coloring. Convenient, but you don't know how much real ube is in it. Our powder is 99.7% ube, dried and ground, with a pinch of natural vanilla. If in doubt, check the label.

Look for three things: ube as the main ingredient, no added sugar or coloring, and a clear origin. Still unsure? Try it yourself: with 2 bags you get free shipping and about 100 lattes to test.

Yes, all three. Ube is a tuber, just like a potato. Gluten is found in grains such as wheat, rye, barley, and spelt, and lactose is milk sugar from dairy. Neither is found in a purple yam, and natural vanilla doesn't change that. Do you drink lactose-free? Then make your latte with oat milk, almond milk, or lactose-free milk.

At 2 to 2.5 grams per latte, you will get about 50 lattes out of a 100-gram bag. One latte a day? Then it will last you well over seven weeks. Store the bag tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

Certainly. Ube is becoming increasingly popular on the menu. View the hospitality options with UBE.25.
