About Ube halaya

Ube Halaya is a traditional Filipino dessert made from purple yam, known locally as ube, mixed with ingredients like coconut milk, condensed milk, and butter. This vibrant dish is celebrated for its rich, sweet flavor and creamy texture. Ube is naturally high in antioxidants, particularly anthocyanins, which give it its striking color and are linked to various health benefits. It also contains fiber, vitamins like Vitamin C, and minerals like potassium. However, Ube Halaya’s nutritional profile largely depends on its preparation. The addition of butter and sweetened milk can significantly increase its calorie, fat, and sugar content, making it an occasional treat rather than a regular part of a balanced diet. Often enjoyed as a standalone dish or as a topping for other desserts, Ube Halaya is a delightful example of Filipino cuisine’s love for vibrant and indulgent flavors.
