This was a real Ube ubiquitous post. Loved scrolling through the entire post and reading about how ube can be used differently into every dish. I’m sold. Will have to find some ube.
Wow. How very pretty and yes versatile. I love purple!
The Chinese/Malaysians have their recipes for yam too. I bought some that day – white, not purple ones…

Thanks for all the links Raymund…I love ube and its purple color…
Have a wonderful weekend!
I was already craving ube before perusing your roundup, and now I’m absolutely dying to taste these treats! It’s still a bit tough to find around here, but definitely worth the hunt. There’s no other flavor (or color) quite like it!
I’ve never seen this veggie, so interesting that the colour is so rich and remains so even after cooking/baking.
