About Ubi
Ubi, also known as purple yam, is a vibrant root vegetable native to Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines, where it is celebrated in traditional desserts and culinary dishes. This starchy tuber is rich in essential nutrients, including vitamin C, potassium, and antioxidants, which support immune health and help combat oxidative stress. Its deep purple color is due to anthocyanins, compounds known for their anti-inflammatory and heart-protective properties. Ubi is naturally sweet and often used in jams, cakes, ice creams, and even savory dishes. While it’s a nutritious food, preparation methods can affect its healthfulness; frying or combining it with sugar and high-fat ingredients can add excessive calories. When cooked simply, ubi is a fiber-rich, energy-boosting addition to a balanced diet. Its unique color and flavor make it a delightful choice for both traditional cuisines and innovative dishes worldwide.
