So good olove it
Thank you
this is not ube. when I boiled it it was so bland and it was almost white. Will not order again. so disappointed.
More than half was bad
It’s fresh
Fresh and Really good! Happy with my purchase!
I received two big purple sweet potatoes. I steamed one, but it didn't have the taste of sweet potato. It was bland, not sweet, and not very delicious.
It was exactly what they said, but it wasn't the potato I was expecting. it is basically like a regular potato but purple, not like the sweet purple potatoes you can get sometimes. It's not my choice, but fine if that's what you're looking for.
Sweet potatoes are delicious when cooked in soup. The tubers are fresh, round and long. Very easy to prepare. Cook the soup with some minced meat or minced shrimp, coriander and dill, and a little pepper. This dish is delicious.
This is actually a purple sweet potato. When I first came here, everyone was asking what the hell this big lump is. It's as big as a baby. How can it be cooked? ? ? After finally cutting it open and steaming it, it has no sweetness at all. It's like a big ginseng essence... I just threw it into the trash can. It's such a rip-off. What kind of people are buying it...

I made a cup of matcha taro paste; it was alright, but too sweet.
Delicious, thank you
Delicious, fresh and sweet. Bought it in September 2026, has an expiration date if March 2028, so I wouldn't worry about getting an old product. I've been using it as a breakfast spread. Now time to try Ube and jelly sandwiches!

Review of Shrimp and Pork Taro Soup - Delicious! Where are the soup lovers? I just cooked shrimp and pork taro soup and had to exclaim: how delicious is this! Shredded taro is soft and melts in the mouth, mixed with the natural sweetness of fresh shrimp and savory minced meat. Add a little green onion and coriander for a fragrant aroma, eating a spoonful makes you want a whole bowl! Pros: • Easy to cook, super familiar ingredients, available in every market. • Sweet and nutritious, filling without getting bored. • Shredded taro is lightly sticky when cooked, creating a delicious "peak" taste. Cons: • The taro needs to be grated finely and soaked thoroughly to reduce the sliminess, otherwise it's a bit of a hassle. • The shrimp and meat must be fresh, otherwise you'll lose points! Tip: Add a little ground pepper and fresh chili, eat it hot and it's so great! Who has cooked this dish yet, do you have any tips to share with me! #Fatty Potato Soup #Shrimp and Meat #Homemade Cuisine
Good alternative to fresh, because it is hard to find locally. This is another staple in my kitchen. I use it in desserts or eat simply boiled.

What is ube root?
Ube root is the purple tuber of Dioscorea alata, a purple yam grown in the Philippines and elsewhere in Southeast Asia. It is boiled or steamed and mashed for desserts such as ube halaya.
What does ube taste like?
Ube tastes mildly sweet, nutty and a little like vanilla or pistachio, with a creamy, starchy texture once cooked and mashed. Its flavor is gentler than its vivid purple color suggests.
Is ube the same as purple sweet potato?
No. Ube is a purple yam (Dioscorea alata), while purple sweet potatoes such as the Okinawan type are a different plant that is drier and sweeter. Both turn purple, but ube is the traditional choice for Filipino halaya.
How do I store ube root?
Store fresh ube root in a cool, dry, dark place and cook it within a week or two, or follow the label. Keep frozen ube in the freezer until you are ready to use it.
Where can I buy ube root near me?
Weee! delivers Asian and Hispanic groceries to your door in many U.S. areas; enter your ZIP code at weee.com to see availability and delivery options. Ube on Weee! includes Hawaii Ube Large Purple Yam, Tropics Purple Yam (Ube) 12 oz and Tropics Whole Filipino Ube, Frozen.
How do you cook ube root?
Peel the ube root, cut it into chunks and boil or steam it until fork-tender, about 20 to 30 minutes, then mash or grate it. Wear gloves if you have sensitive skin, because raw yam can irritate it.
Can I buy frozen or grated ube instead of fresh ube root?
Yes. Frozen whole ube and frozen grated purple yam are widely used for halaya and baking, and they skip the peeling. Weee! carries Tropics Grated Purple Yam, Happy Elephant Grated Purple Yam and Tropics Whole Filipino Ube.

This is my first purchase. My husband, who enjoys baking bread, was looking for purple sweet potato powder to knead into his dough when he came across this. I'm happy that the only ingredient is purple sweet potato and that it doesn't contain any unnecessary additives.
first time buying this. looking forward to using it
i already tried this on my kamote ube halaya.. also tried on ube biko. Hmm its ok.. i think mccormick ube has a stronger ube taste than this
i am going to use it to make ube pastillas
I haven't tried it yet, but if it's good, I'll buy more.
Exactly what I needed to make some ube pan de sal
Excited to use it for my ube bread.
Can’t wait to try this one as well. But so far as expected.
I can't want to make my own Ube & Matcha beverages!
Can’t wait to try this
