What is ube spread?

Ube or Purple Yam spread is a sweet, creamy and vibrant purple-colored spread that is made from the Filipino purple yam. It is commonly used as a condiment or filling in bread, cakes, pastries, and desserts. The ube spread can be easily homemade or purchased pre-made in jars from many specialty food stores. It is rich in vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin C, potassium, and iron, making it a healthier alternative to other types of spreads. The spread has a natural earthy flavor that is complemented by its sweet and creamy texture. Its vibrant color also makes it visually appealing as a decorative topping. Ube spread has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its unique taste and versatility in cooking and baking.
