Ube Powder is a purple starch made in the Philippines from a yam called in English “purple yam.” The yam has rough, gnarly skin.

The starch is slightly sweet, and colours the foods it is used in, such as desserts and jams (in the Philippines, the jam made with it is called “ube halaya.”)

In the Philippines, the Ube yam is also cooked and served as a vegetable.

Language Notes

Also spelt “Ubi Powder”.

‘It is to be regretted that men of science do not interest themselves more than they do on a subject of such vast magnitude as [food]; for I feel confident that the food of a country might be increased at least one-third, if the culinary science was properly developed, instead of its being slighted as it is now.’ — Alexis Soyer (French chef. 4 February 1810 – 5 August 1858)
