UBE Powder at a Glance
Ube powder is produced from peeled, cooked and gently dried purple yam, which is then finely milled. The result is a deep purple powder that dissolves easily into milk, plant-based drinks, doughs and ice cream bases. The intense colour comes from anthocyanins - plant compounds of which ube contains over 300 mg per 100 g - and not from artificial colourants.
In terms of taste, UBE Powder is mildly sweet, vanilla and slightly nutty, often described as a cross between white chocolate, vanilla, pistachio and coconut. The flavour barely polarises and therefore appeals to a very broad audience - a key advantage over the bitter, grassy notes of matcha. Compared with finished snacks, the powder offers maximum flexibility: it is colourant, flavour and trend statement in one, and fits into almost any sweet recipe.
