Our Verdict
The pick for bakers chasing the most authentic ube flavor over the most vivid color — the slightly coarser grind means a touch more prep, but the payoff is a flavor that tastes closer to fresh purple yam than most powders on the market.
What We Liked
- Coarser, more natural grind than most powders, which translates to a deeper, more authentic ube flavor once rehydrated
- Imported by a company that's specialized in Indonesian and Filipino grocery products since 1998, with consistent batch quality
- Works well in both sweet applications (halaya, lattes) and baking without an artificial aftertaste
Drawbacks
- The coarser texture needs a longer soak or a quick blitz in a spice grinder for perfectly smooth frostings or drinks
- 5 oz bag is on the smaller side and runs out quickly if you're baking in batches
Key Features
- 5 oz resealable pouch
- 100% pure Indonesian purple yam, coarse grind
- No added sugar or artificial color
