Pronounced \u201coo-beh\u201d this purple root vegetable that originated from the Philippines has been making waves for quite some time now. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/tag\/ube?lang=en\">#ube<\/a> has over 261.8M views already!<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some people refer to ube as purple yam, but it is actually quite different from a purple sweet potato. And while it\u2019s also packed with loads of nutrition just like purple sweet potatoes, they aren\u2019t \u2013 in fact \u2013 the same thing at all. According to the Philippine Consulate General in Vancouver, British Columbia in Canada, he explains that one main reason it has gained so much popularity is precisely because of its stunning purple color.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ube\u2019s purple color actually comes from anthocyanins, which is a group of powerful antioxidants that help lessen inflammation and added risk of certain cancers, as explained in <a href=\"https:\/\/bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/bph.13627\">past research<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When it comes to the Nutrition Facts of ube, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/fdc.nal.usda.gov\/fdc-app.html#\/food-details\/545079\/nutrients\">U.S. Department of Agriculture<\/a>, in every 3.5 ounces of ube, there is the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>120 calories<\/li>\n<li>1 grams (g) protein<\/li>\n<li>0g fat<\/li>\n<li>27g carbohydrates<\/li>\n<li>10 milligrams (mg) sodium<\/li>\n<li>4g fiber (a good source)<\/li>\n<li>12mg\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.everydayhealth.com\/drugs\/ascorbic-acid\">vitamin C<\/a>(a good source)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Are They Healthy?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have been to the Philippines, watched social media, or happen to have seen them in a grocery store, then you may know that ube can come in a variety of forms. However, it\u2019s also important to note that not all products labeled with the term \u201cube\u201d means that they contain all the usual nutrition that this root vegetable has, especially when it has been processed into something else. And while you can also buy ube extract online, or possibly in the Asian market, it is normally mixed with added ingredients and tons of sugar to add flavorig and color, which means that it is no longer \u201chealthy\u201d per se.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How Does It Taste?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Depending on what form it comes in, ube is naturally sweet and creamy, almost with vanilla-like undertones. And if you find it in its most natural form, like how you would regular sweet yams, then there are tons of recipes you can find online to make different ube creations, such as muffins, cakes, donuts, breads, flans, ice cream, and loads more.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Where to Find Ube<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting fresh ube isn\u2019t always easy in the United States. In fact, most of the time, fresh ube is impossible to find. You can check with your local supermarkets or nearby Asian stores to see if they have any on sale. There are also some stores such as Trader Joe\u2019s and Amazon that have products made with ube, but sometimes these are also highly preserved and not actually \u201creal.\u201d Be sure to look at the labels to make sure you understand what exactly you are getting. And when you do your hands on some fresh ube, make the most of it by researching great <a href=\"https:\/\/insanelygoodrecipes.com\/ube-recipes\/\">recipes<\/a> to cook it with. Believe us when we say that the search will surely be worth it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you Instagram and TikTok feeds have been showing tons of purple food, desserts and drinks, it\u2019s all because of an incredibly vibrant purple-fleshed vegetable called ube.
