Purple yams, or ube, are nutritious, versatile, and starchy root vegetables. They are loaded with antioxidants that may help reduce blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

Dioscorea alata is a species of yam commonly referred to as purple yam, ube, violet yam, or water yam.

This tuberous root vegetable originates from Southeast Asia. An indigenous staple of the Philippines, it’s now cultivated and enjoyed worldwide.

Purple yam is well-known for its distinct color and is an excellent addition to several dishes. It can help boost blood circulation and prevent digestive problems and constipation if included in the diet.Their potent antioxidants may help reduce blood pressure and blood sugar levels.Purple yam may lower cancer risk due to its high vitamin C content. Because of its anthocyanins, it helps lose weight and promotes brain health.

Ube powder is made by drying and grinding ube (purple yam) into a fine powder. Ube, native to the Philippines, is often mistaken for purple sweet potatoes but has its own unique texture and flavor. The powder retains the natural nutrients and vibrant purple color of the yam, making it a beautiful and nutrient-dense ingredient to incorporate into your meals.

This powder is typically used in a variety of culinary applications, from smoothies and baked goods to ice creams and savory dishes, providing a natural, plant-based color and a sweet, earthy flavor. It’s a great way to enjoy the benefits of ube without the need to cook or peel the raw yam.

Ube powder is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. It’s a popular addition to:

• Baked Goods: Cakes, cookies, and other pastries.
• Desserts: Ice cream, puddings, and cheesecakes.
• Beverages: Smoothies, lattes, and other drinks.
• Savory Dishes: Ube can be incorporated into sauces, dips, and even rice.

1.Real purple yam

We use 100% yam (Dioscorea alata), grown in specific high-altitude areas in the Philippines, where lower temperatures result in 15% higher anthocyanin concentrations than lowland crops. Many suppliers sell “purple sweet potato powder” that is actually purple sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas), which is cheaper and easier to source.

1. Pre-steamed tubers and then dried

We pre-steam fresh purple yam tubers before drying – this step helps lock in the natural aroma and sweetness, breaks down starch for a smoother taste, and retains a darker natural color during processing.

1. Low-temperature dehydration

Our powder is dried at temperatures below 50°C to preserve heat-sensitive nutrients such as anthocyanins and maintain the fresh flavor of purple yam.

1. Zero Additives – No Fillers, No Coloring

Our powder is 100% pure tuber, contains no maltodextrin, no preservatives, no added coloring.
