Natural ube powder: the purple star of drinks

What is ube?

Ube, also known as purple yam, is a tuber native to Southeast Asia, and the Philippines in particular. Known by its scientific name dioscorea alata, this Southeast Asian tuber is prized for its striking purple flesh, a natural result of the anthocyanin pigments it contains. Not to be confused with purple sweet potato: ube has a gentler, slightly vanilla-tinged flavour and a depth of colour all its own. Our ube powder captures everything that makes fresh ube special, in a stable and convenient form.

A nutritional treasure with many benefits

Ube is packed with nutrients, earning it a well-deserved place among superfoods. Rich in antioxidants (anthocyanins), fibre, vitamins and minerals, our ube powder supports healthy digestion while naturally contributing to your daily energy levels and immune system.

The remarkable properties of ube

Unlike artificial colourants, our natural ube powder brings real nutritional value to your recipes. Its antioxidants help combat oxidative stress, while its fibre supports digestion and healthy gut function. For a nourishing snack, simply stir a few spoonfuls into a large glass of plant-based milk or a smoothie.

A wholesome and indulgent alternative

Caffeine-free, our powder is suitable for children and adults alike, at any time of day. It fits naturally into a balanced diet, adding colour and flavour without added sugar, artificial flavourings or colourants.

The art of elevating your culinary creations

With its natural purple colour and gentle, subtly vanilla flavour, our powder instantly transforms the simplest preparations into something extraordinary. Make a comforting homemade ube latte, a vibrant bubble tea, or add a natural pop of colour to your baked goods. This powder is your passport to endless creative possibilities.

Homemade ube latte recipe

Use 1 to 2 teaspoons of powder per 200 ml of hot (or cold) milk, adjusting to your preferred intensity. Coconut milk and oat plant-based milk pair especially well with ube's gentle flavour, creating a creamy drink with subtle vanilla notes. Whisk or froth to combine, then savour. The powder dissolves quickly, giving a smooth, lump-free texture. You can also use hot water for a lighter version.

Pastries, ice creams and exceptional desserts

Fold our premium ube powder into cakes, muffins, creams, ice creams, cheesecakes or tiramisus to achieve that beautifully sought-after purple hue. This striking, deep purple will elevate your mochis, macarons and bubble teas to a new level. Allow approximately 1 tablespoon per 250 g of flour.
