Color of the Month: Purple - And its all About the Ube

Do you want to get onboard with one of the hottest trends in food products? Let's talk about Ube!!! Ube is the Philippine root crop known for it's vibrant purple color in food products. Cakes, cookies, drinks, ice cream, and much more. The taste ranges from soft, creamy vanilla, to nutty banana-like flavors, to even a sharper Sweet Potato. But we'll let you take care of the flavor.

Ube is a vibrant purple yam, primarily grown in the Philippines, known for its distinct flavor and striking color. It's a popular ingredient in Filipino desserts and is increasingly gaining traction in global cuisine, particularly in desserts like ice cream, cakes, and pastries

Trader Joe’s raves about Ube: “Our Ube Spread boasts ube purée as its first ingredient, which means it goes big on the distinct, craveable, coconut-meets-pistachio Ube flavor. Butter, cream, and coconut cream gives it its smooth, buttery texture; cane sugar sweetens the deal; and sea salt brings out even more of the Spread’s yummy, yammy flavor.

Its eye-catching purple hue originates from the ube itself, but we’ve stepped-up the saturation with a splash of purple carrot juice, making it a pretty-in-purple sight for both your peepers and your palate alike!
