About Purple yam jam

Purple Yam Jam, also known as Ube Jam, is a Filipino delicacy made from purple yams, sugar, butter, and occasionally condensed milk. This vibrant and creamy spread hails from the Philippines, where it is commonly enjoyed as a dessert topping or a sweet snack. The purple yam, or "ube," is celebrated for its rich flavor and natural violet hue, derived from anthocyanins, which are antioxidants that may support heart health. Packed with vitamins like A and C, ube contributes to immune and skin health. However, traditional recipes often include added sugars and fats, making the jam a calorie-dense treat that should be consumed in moderation. Despite this, its nutrient profile and unique taste make it a delightful and colorful addition to both traditional and modern dishes. Perfect for spreading on bread, using in desserts, or eating straight from the jar!
