Vegetables come in various colors and their colors indicate that they are full of nutrients your body needs. Most vegetables are green, red, and yellow, but there are also some purple ones like Ube, our latest discovery. Ube is a type of sweet potato and it’s the trendiest veggie at the moment.
Ube comes from the Philippines. It’s not a new food—it’s been a part of the local cuisine for a long time. However, it’s only now becoming popular in the west and there are good reasons why you should add it to your diet. This purple yam is sweeter than the original orange type but very similar to it when it comes to nutritional value, so it’s a great way to add something healthy and delicious to your meals.
You can prepare Ube in many different ways. In the Philippines, it’s often used as a dessert ingredient. When it comes to the U.S., you can try desserts made with Ube in many bakeries and restaurants in big cities like New York. Try to find it in the local supermarkets if you want to experiment with it at home!
