About Ube kalamay

Ube Kalamay is a vibrant purple Filipino delicacy made from glutinous rice flour, ube (purple yam), coconut milk, and sugar. This sticky, chewy dessert is steamed to perfection, often topped with latik, crispy coconut curds, for added texture and flavor. Originating from the Philippines, it is a staple during festive occasions, showcasing the country's love for sweet and richly textured treats. Ube Kalamay is a good source of energy due to its carbohydrate content, and ube provides vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber. Coconut milk adds healthy fats, though it’s calorie-dense, so moderation is key. While delicious, the high sugar content and refined ingredients mean it should be enjoyed as an occasional treat rather than a regular snack. Perfect for satisfying a sweet tooth, Ube Kalamay highlights the blend of tradition and indulgence in Filipino cuisine.
