So what, aside from its lovely hue, should you know about ube? Here are a few things:
— The pretty purple yam is a staple dessert ingredient in the Philippines, where it’s often boiled and mashed, and commonly used for jams and puddings or to color sweet treats and breads.
— It has a smooth texture and a mild, sweet flavor that has been compared to white chocolate or a cross between vanilla and pistachio.
— Yes, that unearthly color is natural — you can see it as soon you slice into a raw tuber.
