About Ube ensaymada

Ube Ensaymada is a Filipino baked good that blends soft, buttery bread with the rich, vibrant flavor of purple yam (ube). Originating from Spanish influences in the Philippines, this sweet pastry is traditionally topped with grated cheese and sugar, making it a delightful balance of creamy, savory, and sweet. Typical ingredients include flour, sugar, eggs, butter, milk, and ube, which adds a unique earthy sweetness and a striking purple color. Ube is rich in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which can help fight inflammation and support overall health. However, the Ensaymada itself is calorie-dense due to its use of butter, sugar, and cheese. While it offers a small nutritional boost from ube, it’s best enjoyed in moderation as part of a balanced diet. Perfect as an occasional treat, Ube Ensaymada represents the rich cultural fusion found in Filipino cuisine.
